We changed to our new hosts today - Rotary South West - and were treated to one of the cultural / conservation sites in Bangalore - the Sultan Tippu's summer palace. He wasn't overly keen on British people apparently and there is quite a gory tiger statue attacking a British soldier in the Victoria and Albert Museum with a small replica in the palace itself. The palace is an oasis of calm in the midst of a very busy city with green lawns and lots of flowers. Cool and airey with lots of dark wooden composite columns and ornate patterns with highly polished ceilings which capture and play with the sunlight. It is next to a large temple with fantastic statues and carvings.
