We got off the bus and were pretty hungry as the journey had taken about 4 hours.  We were a bit late for breakfast so we walked into the first restaurant we saw and just pointed to some food on another table as it looked bland enough for breakfast.

It turned out to be pretty good, though some of the sauces were a bit spicy.

I had asked and found out that there is a bus to Gonikkopal every hour so we took an auto-rickshaw for a quick look around town.  We saw the exterior of the palace.  We were too tired and too hot by then to enter the grounds.

I love sarees and wanted to check out a few saree shops.  Unfortunately the rickshaw driver kept taking us to the more expensive touristy shops and we didn’t have time to go walking around the market.

I enjoyed looking, but didn’t buy………………..this time!  Then it was back to the bus station for a quick lunch (sandwiches & cakes) and the bus to Gonikoppal.
