Leaving Hassan after our great day in Shravanabelagola our next destination was Mysore, a city where we have been before (here is our last blog of Mysore). We had an Ok place to stay last time in Mysore but this time we wanted to be a bit closer to town. That is why we ended up in the famous MB International Hotel. It was indeed close to town, just a 10 minutes walk away from the Central bus stand... Read Full Entry

Happy New Year!
So glad that you finally found a temple where you could have time and space to meditate quietly. A good sign for the new year.

2015 starts a new...
We always hold our breath before opening the door to a place where we are staying. We don't require luxury but at this point in our life we want clean and a private bathroom. We really want working internet but don't always get it and it is not the hill to die on. We've experienced bedbugs and you were lucky to see them and get moved. But that hotel has a big problem because they will spread quickly to all the rooms. Glad you burned off some karma. I didn't realize that was a possibility.

Mysore
We ate at Parklane Restaurant too...and I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was for a touristy place. Thinking back to all the temples I've walked clockwise around, I've burnt karma without even know it ;)

Oh yes, the food is not too bad for a touristy place. Just a bit more expensive. Keep walking around the temples ;-)....... Happy travels.
