madikeri - baylukoppa - mysore

here in south india exist not that good train connection then up to north india. so i took again a bus (this time not a super deluxe or semi deluxe) from the gouverment to madikeri. madikeri its 1100 meter over sealevel. so was nice up there,in the night was cold, i feld i was again in ladakh, i used a blanket in the night. the city or better the town is really small, so i could easly walk around by my self. i was surching for a hindu temple, so i was asking several people on the street where the temple is, i saw one temple but the style was more muslim then hindu, so i ask in this direction on the mosque, and there say no no. anyway i gave up and ask the policeman on the street and he pointet the same direction then i was thinking the mosque is. so i went there, and was a hindu temple inspiered from muslim architects. on the next day i went to see the tibetan settlements so i went to baylukoppa, very nice place. i saw the golden temple, i never saw such nice temple. many paintings inside the wall, and three huge statues. and many monks, there had praying time and was nice to listen the voice and the playing music instruments like the horn an the drums. so i was very impressd!!
back to madikeri i visit the raja's tomb, also in style like muslim, but was hindu again, and two mosque. here down south i saw now in every city and town a mosque, so i think here is a large of number of muslim's.

now arrived in mysore, the last hillstation i will see, now i booked my ticket to cochi (i will go on saterday evening on a nightbus) and tomorrow i will see here the city palace, which i saw from the bus when we drove in the city. was very nice from the outside. but i will tell you more later about it.
