First days of choas/madness

---

Arriving on the 4th of October 2010 at 10.30am local time Mumbai we step outside of the airport and it hits us! We are in Mumbai, India! We heard on the plane it would be 29 degrees, but we heard it wrong... More likely it was 39 degrees!! Hot hot hot!
We straight got into the choas by taking a taxi from the airport to our hostel! They love their horns and they don't give a shit about lanes! 3 lanes make it into 6 lanes!
Both really quiet in the back of the taxi.. Letting it soak in! Be stunned by it all!

Our 2nd day we went for a boat trip to Elephanta Island to see one of the temples of Shiva! Again hot hot hot!! We defently have to get more fit! Those stairs where killing us! Scary dogs, crazy monkeys, beggers, "sales persons" harassing us all the way!! Sweat dripping down our faces, back, belly, legs, arms...
But it was all worth it! The temple was amazing!

Mumbai is a cool (hot) city but we decided to get the hell out of here!! Our next destination will be Goa... Soak up some sun and hopefully chill a bit! But first we have to survive the train from Mumbai to Goa! It's only a 12 hour train trip 😞 Bought 2nd class tickets, but hey who knows what we get for that! We just have to figger that one out tomorrow!
