Sat 3rd - Mumbai
Headed down to Coloba district in Mumbai had brecky in expensive Hotel and then went hunting for a hotel to stay in, Nibz chilled out with fresh Pinapple juice waiting for me like the Queen of England.. Found a really nice hotel it was well out of our budget but the other options where pretty uninhabitable. Slept for almost all the day.
Sun 4th May
Took a trip to the chemist for our ever lasting tummy problems. Went over to India Gate and had a look at that pretty big and important as that is where India gained its independance from us the Brits. - Then off to the Taj Mahal Hotel for a steak sandwich we were so excited that this posh hotel served beef then it came and we realised its lamb steak. Doh!!
Monday 5th
Watched Pay it forward today great film then walked upto National Art Gallery but it was shut!!So hiked over to Oval Maiden and
watched some locals having a knock around Cricket game - we where hoping to watch an Indian Premier League Game (IPL) today but we could not buy tickets for love nor money. Young dude who was playing cricket was really into me and nibby and came and chatted to us for ages. After this we went back to India gate had a horse drawn cart ride for 30 mins around the sites of Mumbai (it was dark by this point) so it looked really scenic. Last night in India we could not wait to leave.
