Research didn’t suggest much to do in Mangalore. But we did interrupt what was otherwise a rest day to catch a free shuttle to the Mall for a couple of hours.

The city looks middle class (for India). Apparently a major centre for education. And we did see a big campus for Infosys, a large Indian IT company.

… and numbers of high rise apartments (this one on Lighthouse Hill with nice views over the sea) …

The Mall could be a suburban mall anywhere …

Out front, McDonalds and lots of shiny new looking tuk tuks waiting.

Town was tidy, but still Indian …

… and it appeared to be a market day …

Not far from the Mall we found a huge education campus called St Aloysius. Primary school, high school and tertiary colleges.

Apparently famous for its campus chapel, referred to as the Sistine Chapel of India. Hmmmm …
