Okay...story of my life- been a bit slackage again on the old blog so going to put a few entries in now. We were in Mumbai from 21st-28th Sept. Was a really cool place actually, by the sea and we even walked on a beach there- it was lush having not seen the sea for a month. Stayed in a place called Hotel Oasis, quite basic but a good location. We got the train into Mumbai so got to experience the trains which wasn't as bad as we first thought.
Saw loads of really nice things. Went to the Gateway of India which was so breezy and nice for some fresh air. We went on Chowpatty Beach where they were having yet another festival. It was the last day of the festival and people were walking round the streets banging drums and singing- it was hilarious. Went to see an Indian film at the cinema which was fun, no sub titles so we were guessing the story lines.Went to Elephante Island which we got a boat for an hour to. It was so hot me and Ami were completely melting and Jess looked like she wasn't even breaking a sweat!! Went to Leopolds Cafe, which is featured in Shantaram (a book based in India) and had towers of beer!! Spent the next 2 days ill in bed with a bug (so gutting as the others got to feature in an Indian commercial, but I heard all about it which sounded awesome). We managed to go on a tour of the biggest slum in Mumbai called Dharavi Slum, it was amazing!!! Everyone looked so happy and they were so friendly, we got to see a school and how they dry popadoms and recycle things.
After a week there we were sooooo looking forward to getting to the airport to fly to Bangkok...bring on the Khao San.........
