Day 5 in Mumbai!

Hey everyone

So we have been in Mumbai for 5 days now. Seen the good, bad and the ugly. We met up with a friend of our's over here and got some well needed advice on what to do and where to go. Rachel did her first bartering for some new chappals (jandals) they cost about $3 NZ.. not bad huh?
Looks like we will be catching a 9 hour train to Gujurat tonight or tomorrow morning, we will update again shortly. We will also upload some pics soon too!!

Lots of love
Rachel and Ameet

Colaba, Mumbai

Hi everyone

We landed safely in India yesterday in Chennai and then flew in the evening to Mumbai. We had a crazy 2 hour drive in a cab to find our first night's accommodation, carefully ventured out for some food then had some much needed sleep. This morning watched the sunrise over the roof tops of the mumbai flats then went out and had McDonalds for breakfast as we hadn't yet gotten brave enough yet to try the local restaurants. Saw the 'Gateway to India' and the Taj Hotel after eating Biryani outside the Mumbai stockxchange then spent an hour looking for an internet cafe!! Mumbai is,... well interesting.... it's happening, noisey, crazy, dusty and so much more!! Oh and we might be on the local tv : ) we got interviewed on the side of the road about our opinion on why mumbai ppl die younger than anywhere else in india....

We are well, enjoying the experience and don't have Delhi Belly yet haha! Tomorrow looks like Elephanta Island, which is caves and some other cool stuff that we don't know about yet! Should be able to update again in a few days!!

Love you all
