The Southern India Motorcycle Tour Day #1 & #2


As hot as Bangalore has been this summer, when you hit the road at 6:30 you need to at least have a sweatshirt. The planned route was Bangalore to Mysore (Mysuru), to Ooty through the Bandipur National Forest, then to Coimbatore, Munnar, Madurai, Rameshwaram, Puducherry, Vellore. and back to Bangalore  Today was amazing!

Elephant Charges us en Route to Munnar

The traffic was stopped, so I drove up the shoulder of the road around the cars (what is a motorcycle for after all?) only to spook a bull elephant who charged us, twice. We only caught footage of one. But note after how he peeks out from the bushes us eyeing us.



Monkey Steals Olaf's Fruit

When we slowed dow for a check point, Olaf got off the bike to take photos of the monkeys on the roof of the truck ahead of us. As he did, one of them jumped on the bak seat of the morotcycle and swipped his bag of manderins
