We changed our plans of going to Madikkeri via Wayanad on Day 6. Instead, we went to Wayanad and returned to Mysore by evening. The decision turned out to be good.

We haven't heard the 'Suprabhatham' chant for many many years. While we were in Chennai and Kerala we used to hear that quite often. First day morning. And as we walk into this nice restaurant at Vashi for breakfast, the 'Suprabhatham' chant welcomes us. Perhaps a good omen on the first stop on first day.
