On our way back to our India home, we took complete advantage of the need to change flights. For example - from Bangalore, there is no direct flight to Chicago. A plane change is needed. This trip home we changed in London and decided to stay a week before reaching Bangalore.
It truly was a GLORIOUS trip. The hubby was not able to make it, he had work commitments. So while we missed him terribly - we went off to discover this grand city. Our friend, Miss Di, came to join us from the States. Miss Di is not only a great friend - she is also Olivia's physical therapist back in the States. We go a long way!
We were complete tourist! Olivia - aka Lover of History - was in her element. There is so much history here that she was like a kid in a candy store!
Let me say - Miss Di and I 'buddied' up with one kid a day. Olivia, naturally, hung out with Miss Di and Paz always gravited to me.
Enjoy the pictures!
