Our day began with a visit to the home of our younger daughter, Shwetha, who hails from Mangalore. The promise of a home-made breakfast was on our minds, and, we were not disappointed! 👍😀 After 32 days on the road, we thoroughly enjoyed the idlis and masala dosas, Banana Halwa, Mangalore buns, what not..... Thankyou Sharath & Ramesh Balnadu for your wonderful hospitality! Shwetha's 94-year old grandmother is a 'livewire' and so active! Touchwood! 🙏
After breakfast, we visited two lovely Churches in Mangalore - Milagres Church & St. Aloysius College Chapel. Declared a World Heritage site, St Aloysius Chapel is a beauty - stunning and breathtaking! The paintings have been restored, and, surely, this is a great legacy for the people of Mangalore.
Later, we drove to Bekal - 60 kms from Mangalore. The Bekal Fort, on the seashore, is really worth a visit! 👍 It had links to the Vijayanagara dynasty of Hampi, till Tipu Sultans father, Haider Ali captured the Fort.
Well, Day 33 has been as beautiful as all the other days in this our "Discovery of India"!
Take care, guys .....and....
Stay with us......🚘👍👏
