June 5th: Goodbye Nagpur, Hello Bangalore

            In order to get to Gudalur we had to fly to Bangalore and then take a bus to Gudalur. Instead of doing all that traveling in one day we decided to spend the night in Bangalore with our cousin and spend some time with him and his new wife. I had already told him before going that my sister and I wanted pizza or KFC or something that wasn’t chappati. We had eaten so much chappati in Nagpur that I really just wanted something different.

           We got ready in the morning and Dr. Jain drove us to the airport. That was an adventure in itself but we made it to the airport in one piece. After a short stopover in Mumbai we were finally in Bangalore. As soon as we went outside the airport the first stand that we saw was for Subway. Home sweet home but we were both holding out for Pizza Hut. It took about an hour to get to my cousin’s from the airport but our first order of business was to place our order. Oh the choices that we had. American fast food Indian style is definitely interesting. Gotta be careful or you might end up with something that would be great by itself but horrible on a pizza.

          We ended up devouring the pizza and then headed out to the shops for a bit. It was nice to just walk around and enjoy the weather. It was still hot but nothing like Nagpur. This heat we could handle. We went into a few little shops and then just walked around for the most part. We decided to just continue the fast food trend and walked to KFC for dinner. I was actually surprised at how good the food was. I had gone to the KFC in Coimbatore last year but the one in Bangalore was even better. And the food was spicy to boot. I didn’t even need any hot sauce ;-)
