Right then. It's day 4 and my oh my hello India. I can't even really remember what we've done these last few days so will have to check with super-organised journal writer Tom to make sure I get everything down.
First day. Ok well the flight was fine, watched a couple of George Clooney filmies, had a couple of (weeny) bottles of wine and a nice snooze. Well done BA. Also well done BA for not striking til this weekend. Very considerate of you. Ta.
Mental mental taxi ride from the airport to the hotel. I mean mental. Next taxi we get in I'm going to have to do a bit of videoing of the ride becaue I can't even begin to describe it. Horns a-blazing, swerving pedestrians, no such thing as lanes. Mental. But we arrived at our hotel safe and sound. Wowzers what a hotel that was. LUSH. The lovely people at Hotel Residency upgraded us to their new suites and it was literally the best hotel room I think I've ever been in. Mmm mmm mmm.
What next? We headed down to the Gateway of India (I forgot to bring my camera lead so I can't upload the photo. Next time) and saw the Taj hotel. Had a nice little wander round. I feel like a bit of a celeb in these parts, had lots of people whipping out their camera phones to take a picture of my lovely blonde hair. I think Tom thinks I'm imagining it but it defs happened. So wander wander wander round the Gateway, had a nice expensive beer in Leopold's and then found a place to stay for the next couple of nights. Back to our lovely hotel for a beautiful 12 hours sleep.
Geez I really can't remember what happened on day 2. That might've been the day we went to the museum. I think it was. Twas a very nice museum, right by our new hotel. Not as nice as original hotel but for 600 rupees we can't complain. And we get breakfast. Mmm. So museum was nice, what else? Oh yeh went to Chowpatty (sp?) beach, it's where all the richer peeps like to hang out. Very very nice. Had a baluddy good ice cream.
Ok yesterday we went to the markets, lovely walk around saw some dalmatian puppies! And some very sad cats. And lots of fruit, lots of everything really. Then had some more very expensive beer. It's not expensive, same as a Horse and Groom pint I reckon but comparatively it's pricey pricey. Spent about the same amount on beer on Friday night as we did on accomodation. Ha.
Sorry this is all getting a bit then we did this then we did that so I'll leave you with today's goings on: sleeper train to Goa tonigh. Yes! Mumbai's starting to get a tad tiring (hot hot hot) so very much looking forward to some beach fun.
Will update from the beach then. I'm trying not to get too braggy.
Lots of love xxx
