Holiday Road
April 24th, 2009
One of the great things about working from Bangalore is the opportunity to visit so many culturally and visually diverse places. Recently my parents and brother came to visit and we traveled parts of the North and South of India in three schedule packed weeks. We met first in Delhi, before traveling on to Agra and Jaipur, then down to Kerala to visit Cochin, Peryier, Alleppey and Kovalum before heading back finally to Bangalore.
Between us we took a ridiculous amount of touristy photos…here are a selection of those from various places we visited…
