Day 5 @ Bangalore

Today we had an exciting day out! We started the day with a visit to the Energy Park. At this park, the Sun's Energy and Wind Energy are used to light up the park, serving as the main source of energy to operate most of the mechanism in the park. There was also a model home which funtioned purely on these two forms of energy. See that mini-van in the picture? It is a 16-seater mini-van which runs only on batteries charged by the Sun's energy.

Next stop, the Planetarium where an exciting show awaited us. The accompanying music was so soothing it sent some of us into a short slumber... The show was extremely informative and close to our hearts. The reason? Well, we could relate to it as we had learnt about the solar system in our Science syllabus in Term 1. Talking about revision for our CA2 and SA2.. hmmm...

Another interesting place in store for us... The Palace. No photographs were allowed but but but, we managed to get one shot of the exterior. Here it is ... We spent about an hour here. The tour of the palace gave us an insight on the life and times of the Royal family in the state of Karnataka. Don't we wish we were born in the royal family with royal treatment... all the lavish and glory attached... boy were they awsome and amazing!!

We were starving by the time we got to the restaurant and food never tasted so good. See the slideshow for a taste of what we had... Sorry that's all we can offer!

The next session was what some of us were 'dying' for... shopping... Yipee!! We spent an hour after lunch shopping at the handicraft centre before heading on to the Science and Technology Museum. You should have seen our faces at the centre.. hee hee... eager beavers.... The museum was very interactive and it was divided into 4 levels each with 2 halls catering to the different fields of science. This was certainly a reinforcement to what we've started our day with at the Energy Park, ending the day with yet more Science concepts... Einstein, Aristotle... here we come.... We certainly had lots of fun here.

It was then back to the hotel for our dinner where we subsequently retired after a fruitful day of sightseeing and learning... snooze... snooze...
