TRAVEL NOTES

Some people have asked for information on travel itineraries and recommendations for lodging and attractions. I can only share my experiences and the notes from friends but here are my travel notes from places I have been and hope to visit. I will continue to update!

Bangalore and Goa India

I am spending over a week in India. First two stops are Bangalore and Goa.

Bangalore first... I am at the blue dot. Thanks, Google Maps!

Streets on the way to factory.


So many melons for sale!


There was a festival happening while we were there. We saw them carrying statues on this platform.

Gotta love the cows everywhere!

Street markets.


Traffic in Bangalore is crazy busy. Took us hours to get anywhere.

Remember to always wear a helmet even if it is a construction helmet. Safety first!

Not sure this is safe though...


March 8 was International Women's Day so I got a wrist flower from the hotel.


I can only show you pictures of the outside of the factory.



 Indian boxed lunch.

 Here is the little plan we took from Bangalore to Goa. 1 hour and 20 min flight.



Now onto Goa which is coastal state. We are specifically in Panaji area. As I mentioned during my last visit, Goa was under Portuguese rule until 1960s so there is much influence still here.


We had a few hours yesterday "free". I had work to do but couldn't resist enjoying a little bit of the Goa resort life. So, I took my laptop to the rooftop pool. I did get work done, I promise!

 More cows!

Fruit stand on the same road as factory.

At factory.

It is tradition at some India vendors to give visitors flowers.


That is part one of the trip. Bangalore and Goa.

Tomorrow we fly to Pune for a few days, then to Mumbai.
