So we got here at last after a tearful goodbye at Heathrow.... it was 5 am and we had absolutely nothing planned at all. We had no idea where we were going or how we were gonna get there. Who does though? We didn't really experience any of the 'India madness' straight off. Guess it was a little too early in the morning for that… Decided that first things first we’ll have a cup of tea (how quaint and English we are)… Finally got in a taxi and took us to the most expensive dive of a hotel right by the Gateway to India.

We spent 2 and a half hellish days in Mumbai generally being hassled and f***ked around before getting on the sleeper train to Delhi…

But there is no point being totally negative the bar at the top of our hotel was lovely, a view over the Arabian Sea, chilled and open all night (despite being ridiculously over-priced)… it is also where we had the best rice and dal, puri and kulfi to date and all for a quid… And hey we had a 23 hour train ride to look forward to!!
