Saturday morning I got up bright and early (well... early... I wasn't so bright :P) to play Football (aka soccer) with Muddassir, Abdul & Shalini. I woke up around 5 and left around 6 for the field. We kicked the ball around for a while, sat down and had some breakfast then played a little longer. The sun was starting to get hot so we were looking around for something else & spotted the basketball court with a ball sitting there. We asked the kids if we could use it and they said yes so we started (very lazily) shooting around... lets just say, I am HORRIBLE at basketball but I was the only one getting the ball in :) After a few minutes of laughing at ourselves, the three kids borrowed the ball from came over and asked if we wanted to play a game! They couldn't have been more than 12 or 13 but they kicked our butts! It was also starting to get HOT out! and it wasn't even close to noon yet! We gave in, grabbed our stuff and headed back to the car.
Back at the hotel we sat and had some breakfast, were joined by Christina and Vageesh and later Shalini who were all going out shopping. I was so exhausted and knew I still had a long day ahead of me so I went back to the hotel room and took a nap.
Around 2, I finally got myself up and functioning again and Muddassir rejoined me for Lunch and then took me to see some horses across from where he lives. It was so interesting to see the setup for the stables! All ourdoors and open! There were old retired race horses as well as younger horses, a few stallions and then from what we could tell two mares that were carrying. We walked around for a little while, fed them some grass, took pix and headed back to the hotel.
NOW, the fun part :) Abdul had invited us out to a club to see his friend DJ... so Christina and I had some getting ready to do! I NEVER bring high heels here so I had to go out and buy some! I couldn't go to the club in flats twice! So I got ready and ran down to Brigade Rd to a shoe store and found some cute heels :) then back to the hotel just in time for Abdul to come pick us up! We had a blast! When we got there it was a little quiet but within 20 minutes the place was packed and you could barely move! It's funny the difference between the way people dance here and at home! I wish I had taken some pix, my camera was passed around and a few shots were taken but nothing great. :( Next trip! The thing you have to know about Bangalore is right now there is a law that everything shuts down at 11:30.. it's strange, I could have stayed out for hours! Though my feet were thankful I went home and rested.
The next morning I slept in! It was great! I ended up waking up around 11, got dressed and had an early lunch/late breakfast. Jomon and Vageesh came to pick us up at the hotel on bikes and we met up with Muddassir & Shalini along the way. It was about an hour up to Nandi Hills then probably another half to ride up. I will detail the rest of the trip, but for now I must get back to work! Enjoy the pix.. though they're a little out of order :)
