I miss this city so much! Stayed here for a couple of years as a kid, and we went to the palace every weekend and yet never tired of it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Mysore yet. And am looking to travel virtually with you through your posts. I particularly liked the 3rd photo of the palace. It's a fantastic capture.
