Flight with the ba was great, curry already!! it was a night flight so we woke up in Mumbai, we took various public buses to the Colaba area, it was only 10 rs ( 15p ) each . We found the ymca for girls, ywca, really easily and checked into a 4 dorm room which was really clean. We dumped our bags and walked towards the "gate of India" it was really hot and humid.
We saw the Taj hotel where all the attacks were, and then we to the Leopold cafe, which was a bit scary as there were bullet holes all over the place from the November attacks. It was really nice to have a kingfisher as it was sooo hot, we also ate a tika related paneer at Leopolds.
We then met some Mumbai street sellers, one called Anir (see next entry), trying to sell us a hindi book and their maps, unsuccessfully.
We walked to the CST (central) station to have a look, had dinner back at ywca and met our dorm-mates and verging on crazy Japanese girl and a Swedish girl who had just come from Pakistan.
