First day in Mumbai walked for miles on Durban beachfront......sorry Mumbai beachfront. But it could easily have been Durban. Even the headland looked like the Bluff.
Dennis thought he was back at work and kept saying hi to the guys as we walked past.
Mumbai IS crowded, dirty, crowded, smelly, croded, noisy and crowded. But all the people we have met have been incredibly helpful.
Caught the train into Mumbai and jumped into the first carriage - and promptly out again. It was a ladies only carriage. The luggage van next door was also for ladies but we stayed there anyway.
Today, Thursday the train was really CROWDED, but all really helpful - even with our suitcases jammed between them.
Sitting in Captain Cook's airconditioned pub near to Mumbai Central station, drinking ice cold Kingfishers with a never ending supply of papadoms as snacks.
Soon to board the first overnighter, express to Jaipur
