After 2 hours we are taking a room in Mysore Chandra Palace Hotel, which has recommended Kumar to be centrally located and have everything nearby.
We shower and go to nearby markets, vegetables, incense, we see how they crafted and buy at the store a character with endless laughter, it seems we're back in Rajasthan.
We take a rickshaw, and at night to see the illuminated Mysore palace is great, and the lights make the visit even more special, only occurs 3 days a year, and we're just here with thousands of Indians who go to temples palace .
After the palace I shall press, pull Lonely and we will dine at Parklane Hotel, nothing special but the decor of the restaurant, the food is very normal. We will rest tomorrow ...

The day begins in the post, we want to get rid of the coats of feathers, books and trekking shoes, and that from Mysore, it's going to be beach.
We at the bus station where we bought the ticket for the day Kannur 15.
We go to market for the species, fruits, bracelets and more. We look for the Hong Kong Fashion Market, which happens to be a building with stores such seedy Pacorro fakes, Poma, Suny Ericsson, Kelvin Klain, we pass and we will make the visit Mysore Palace inside. We take the audio guide that makes it much easier to understand everything that happened there, the palace is very nice and we enjoyed the visit.
We threw a guide and go to the temple of Chamunda Hill on top of a mountain about 13km from downtown. We take a local bus where we are the only tourists, we reached the temple and rested a bit of heat looking at Mysore from above.

We woke up to feel like zoo, but before the breakfast of dosas hotel, buenisimo.
At the zoo 30 inr pay about 50 € cents, and we are almost 3 hours watching giraffes, birds, tigers, lions, hippos, buffaloes, rhinos, snakes, zoo this luxury.
After the zoo we go through buying movie tickets, because it is Sunday and here in India, cinema is an art and the rooms are filled. 14:30 and we are awaiting the opening box office for tickets. 1h passes until they open, and the jostling get 4 tickets for the session 17h, our film, My Name Is Khan will last 3 hours and is completely in Hindi.
In the rush to eat and go back to the cinema. The film is rustic, but the screen and sound are very good. People cry when they leave the actors known or when something interesting in the film, is another way to enjoy the film. We understand much of the film as there are parties in English, is filmed in USA, is a kind of Forrest Gump Indian music a 10. We loved the experience and laughs we go to dinner, that in a while touching the bus.
At 23:30 h we destined to Kannur, the bus is fine, but when you start jumping on the road, gives us the feeling that no fast pass and we will not sleep at all. Not delivered quickly and getting worse. For a few endless 5h let along a "highway" of a single lane with thousands of holes, does not seem real, in boats that hit the bus we got several inches of the seat to fall back at once, the driver seems to feel nothing and moves on a 10 kmh in the furrows of the road, the initial discomfort about not sleeping we went to the biggest laughs thinking that we will get to Coll Baix or Cala Torta. At 5am the bus makes a stop and the road becomes normal, sleep 2 hours ...
