A trip to Mangalore

We just got back this morning from a 3-day trip to Mangalore - a coastal town in Karnataka. We had a fantastic time and got pics (on our flickr) to prove it. We stayed at the Taj Manjarun which was a big hit with the kids. We were treated to a 5-star fair with great food, tidy rooms and welcome amenities.

The bus ride to Mangalore took an arduous 9+ hours and the roads barely existed most of the journey. The ride back was little better since we were knock-out tired and rested our eyes and limbs for the most part.

We spent the first day sightseeing nearby places in Mangalore and visited Udipi and Kollur (temples) the following day (Sunday). Since it rained for the first half of every day, we couldn't spend the time at the beach as much as we'd like to have. We visited the Malpe beach on Sunday and kept within city on Monday.
