We stopped at the Mysore Zoo for an hour or so. All the usual reservations about zoos certainly hold true here: small, outdated enclosures; too much concrete; too much chain link fencing. Mostly kind of depressing. You wish there were a better way to expose people to the beauty and the majesty of wild, exotic animals without putting them in places like this.
I will only include a couple of photos. The giraffes and tigers had a bit more freedom to roam than others.
Late lunch at the Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel, a former palace of the Maharajahs. Very much an old-world colonial feel to the place.
