Sometime back, went went on a drive to Mysore road. In the late afternoon the climate was very good. Started from Palace ground around 4 pm.
Route: Palace ground – Indian express – Cubbon road – Kasturba road – Corporation – Mysore road flyover – Mysore road – Bidadi
As it was Sunday the traffic was little less. Once we went past Kengeri, it was a smooth ride and road was good. The setting Sun behind the small hills gave a very nice view. We halted at Kadu Mane restaurant for tea. Here food, snacks, sweets are available and they have large space to sit along with a small children play area. And boy one glass of tea cost Rs 13. From there rode to Bidadi ( 2km from Kadu Mane) to withdraw some cash. Then started our return journey. Reached Bangalore by 7 pm.
Address: Kadu Mane restaurant
28th Mile, Mysore road

Today I read about CouchSurfing (CS). In their own words,
CouchSurfing is an international non-profit network that connects travelers with locals in over 230 countries and territories around the world. Since 2004, members have been using our system to come together for cultural exchange, friendship, and learning experiences.
It is a nice idea and gives an opportunity to meet different people all over the world. It also saves on your budget and gives you an edge knowing the local culture and cuisine. As you will staying as a guest at your host’s house, you are most likely to have a better experience.
So what is in for you? There are thousands of Indian on CouchSurfing, so if you do travel abroad still you have options to meet people in different parts of India. Also, there a large number people from Bangalore. They organize regular activities. So you can get together with them.
