My South India tour started with a little bit of bad luck. I arrived in Bangalore on February 22, 2008. Like in North India, I had booked a private taxi in advance to tour the South. The driver of that private taxi, who came to pick me up at the airport, broke the news to me. He informed me that no sightseeing would be possible on the next day as the truck and taxi operators of the entire state of Karnataka would be on a strike (so typical of India)! I had kept only two days in Bangalore in my itinerary. So I had only half a day for sightseeing in Bangalore (the day of my arrival in town). The full day, which was the next day, was wasted because of the strike. Well, I used it for resting up after a solid 12 or 13 days of sightseeing in North India.

I had only one afternoon of sightseeing in Bangalore. I don't regret it much because I have been to Bangalore before and seen most of everything the town has to offer to a tourist. The only regret is I have very few pictures from this latest trip to include in this article.
