Arrived safe and well!!

Namaste!
Well I've arrived- actually I got to Mysore the night before last. A very long 30 hour journey but air and road. Mumbai airport is being re-built so noone seems to know where anything is anymore! i had fun being directed and redirected around the terminals by very friendly people. There always seems to be someone on hand to help- must be something to do with the huge population. My transfer was on time to Bengaluru and I shared the plane with Indian and Chinese businessmen going to 'silicone valley'. I didn't see much of bangalore but one long traffic jam of motorbikes, rickshaws, lorries (with hilarious slogans- If married, don't be harried. Go slow, avoid accident) . The traffi jam seemed to last almost the entire journey of four hours. We stopped half way for a masala dosa and a cup of chai- both very nice and with no adverse results (if you know what I mean).
I've been staying in a 'service appartment' for the last two nights- very posh for a posh bird- people would pay a fortune for such a place in london. It's even too expensive for moer than couple of nigths here for me so I'm moving into a shared appartment with another woman who I haven't met yet. It's only 5 minutes walk from the yoga shala which will be very convenient as I have to start at 5 am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't seen much of Mysore yet but went for two little walks yesterday- it was the festival of Ganesh yesterday with loads of gaudy elephant statues for sale- some as big as ral elephants, garlands of marigolds, and quite a few cows hanging about eating rubbish. I found a place to have a frappucino too!!
Today I'm going to move house and register at the yoga place and have another walk or two.
Lots of love to one and all.
