PROMPT: Missed Attractions

Bloganuary writing prompt
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

From Bangalore: Yercaud, Tirupati, and Kanchipuram are all within a five-hour drive, but we haven’t visited.

I’ve got to say that the Pandemic was good for seeing a lot of destinations that were too long for a daytrip, but near enough to do with a couple / few days. We saw many sights in Karnataka, and a few in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Because of uncertainty around flying and getting caught in shifting quarantine requirements, we did a lot more ground transportation trips closer to Bangalore that we were pretty certain we could get home from if there was an uptick in numbers.

PROMPT: City Favorite

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

In Bangalore [a.k.a. Bengaluru,] where I’ve been living for the past decade, I’m fond of Cubbon Park [a.k.a. Sri Chamarajendra Udyanavana.]
