Bird sanctuary: You remember the one with the crocs and all? Well it was closed because of 'monsoon rain' - one of the main reasons we went to Mysore!
Dinner: Decided to go for a mid range hotel for dinner. Arrived at about 3.30pm (!) and were tole the dining room closed for restaurant but snacks etc still open. Went upstairs and....
First blow: (for Raj and John the driver) was 'no rice'. No rice I India I cried!!

Third blow: Es opened her cheese sandwich to find a fly in it!
Fourth blow: Loads of paper in the milkshakes (from the ice cream)!
Fifth blow: Sarah Egg pakora. All the egg was black!
Needless to say we complained at leaving time!

Crash: Putting diesel in the car and Jon (driver) reversed into a car in the garage
A good day all round eh?? Still, we have all learnt to expect these kind of days - us in India and Paul in China, so we all thought the day was a reasonable success!!
How low our expectations are eh??
Having said all of this we had a few highlights. Es and Josh had an exceptional Elephant ride at Mysore Palace where the mahout let Es sit on the elephants head and ride!!
See the video too:
Cool eh??
