Coorg Scrapbook
Moments I loved, in pictures.
Yoo, my bus back to Hyderabad is at 6:15 pm, and I am two hours early at the boarding area.
So I just visited a café nearby to kill some time. (I am in Mysore, btw) I had a sandwich + a short conversation with the café owner about the place and everything around.
Usually at times like these, I go through all the pictures in the gallery and relive moments of the trip.
I decided to do the same now: by sharing it with you.

This is the first picture that crossed my mind when I decided to travel solo. Reason? Idk. Maybe I watched too much of Naruto.

The 30-minute route from Madikeri Town to our hostel was too dark and scary; especially after knowing there might be bears around.

3 years ago, I’d have fallen for a perfect picture. Today, I love my happy pictures.
So yep, that’s mostly it.
Will share interesting stories from the trip in the next issue.
See ya soon!
Love,
Vikra.
