Bangalore - Upon arriving I was expecting a breeze through the immigration as usual but I was disappointed in being the last passenger out of the terminal. It all began when I decided to go via e-tourist VISA to avoid the usual hassle of heading down to Little India to get the passport stamped with VISA and return again to collect it. It was just a waste of time. The application and approval of the e-VISA was a breeze.
Upon arrival at Bangalore, there was a counter 'e-Tourist VISA' so I queue up at this location and not knowing whether this was the right location I asked one of the Indian immigration staff and was told to queue at the other end. The queue was extremely long and by the time I reach the immigration officer, I was told to queue back at 'e-Tourist VISA'. Very pissed with the whole system, I walked back to my original queue location. The whole process took slightly more than 1hr and by the time I reach my baggage collection, the baggage collector was carted off my bag.
The taxi to the hotel was also was long, noisy with persistent conning, dusty and stuck in traffic jam at every cross junction. By the time I reach the Hotel, it took 1hr.
On the bright side, it was nice to be back at Hyatt Bangalore - the front desk called the manager and was greeted politely with a warm welcome. The staff of Hyatt Bangalore is one of the best amongst all the travel stays I have made. They ensure my stay was comfortable and always with a smile on top of the beautifully decorated hotel.
We always chose the same dish garlic naan with lamb and chicken curry. Some habits never change but it remains a good comfort good during our stay.
