Day 1 : Bangalore –
Government Fish Aquarium & Vishveshwara Industrial and Technological Museum
The day finally
arrived where 80 excited students, all geared up, met up together along with
their parents in the school premises, at 6.00 am on 10th November
2018; each of these 80 students filled with exuberance to live out the next 6
days without family in 3 different cities of South India.
The entire group was
divided into 2; those flying to Bangalore in an Air India Flight and those
flying in a Jet Airways flight. The 8th and 9th grade
comprising of 46 students along with 4 teachers boarded the Air India flight
which took off from Mumbai T2 terminal at 9.20 am and the 6th and 7th
Grade comprising of 34 students along with 3 teachers boarded the Jet Airways
flight which took off at 9.55 am.
After a safe 1 hour
30 minutes flight the students from the two flightsboarded two air conditioned
coaches to the hotel. The trip from the airport to the hotel was a good 1 hour
drive. The entire group was housed at Royal Orchid Central. On reaching the
hotel, the students headed straight for lunch which had a lavish spread of
soup, salads, varieties of dishes and desserts.
After checking in and
refreshing, the students left for the day’s outings. We first headed to the
Government Fish Aquarium. The aquarium is designed very well and is meant to
catch the attention of the viewer. It houses a variety of fishes from all over
the world. The students, especiallythe younger ones, couldn’t hold back their
excitement. Photographs and selfies were clicked galore.
The troupe then
marched onto the next location – the Vishveshwara Industrial and Technological
Museum. This museum is to a great extent a replica of the science centre at
Worli, Mumbai. Having said that, it also holds many new inventions and
scientific facts recently added. Students along with their teachers stood in absolute wonder looking at the various gadgets and
inventions.
Ice-cream was served
while students made their way to the bus. On arrival at the hotel the students
went straight for dinner which served both Indian and Italian dishes.
Thus marked the end
of Day 1 of the tour – tired but extremely satisfied students.
