Raj and I landed in Bangalore around 1am. It has a new airport now and it’s really modern and clean. But, the new airport is located on the Northern outskirts of town, which now there’s a 2 hour drive to reach the cities center. So we actually arrived in Bangalore around 3am!

The hotel assistant at one of the four star hotels Bangalore has in the cities center, took our bags and led us to our room. He was so great, he even unpacked our bags. He said the staff is trained to understand the needs of their clientele and that he could tell we were to tired to unpack. He even made us a nice pot of coffee! Needless to say, but he received a great tip from us! I’ve never been treated so well through all my travels, and Raj and I are well travelled. We will most definitely stay here again.

We crashed on our beds as soon as he left. When we woke up, only a few hours later, we headed down to the hotels restaurant and ordered up breakfast. Later, we were to meet up with Anu and Shastri, they will be arriving later today. This gave us a chance to check out the area around our hotel. We found an ATM, but, unfortunately, not all ATM’s will recognize a credit card. This one didn’t. It was time to drive back to the airport and pick up our friends. Their plane arrived on time, and we were off back to the cities center to drop them off at their apartment. They live here. Before we arrived here, they did offer for us to stay with them, but Raj and I hate to intrude, a when we saw the size of their apartment, we were glad we didn’t stay with them. It was very, very small. A studio really, barely enough room for one person!

After we dropped them off, it was time for us to check out the sights of the city, but jet-lag was calling us both back to bed. So, maybe tonight we’ll check out the nightlife.
