Last day in Mumbai
The final day in Mumbai we spent in the area of marine drive. This is a long road where more of the exclusive places are meant to be and in peak tourist season it's supposed to be where you see all the sports cars. I thought this road was down by the Taj Mahal Palace hotel but after a 15 min walk down South I was most definitely wrong and after checking the map it’s actually a few miles away on another bit of coast!

From my perspective, the patience of the drivers is amazing since everyone ...
Bombay? - Mumbai
... br> As ever with this psychotic country, the setting for this pitiful encounter could not be less appropriate. The Gateway of India, a spectacular triumphal archway, is probably the symbol of modern Mumbai. Built by the British to celebrate a visit by King George V, walking up to the gate stops visitors in their tracks: just beyond the far side of the monument lies the Arabian Sea, its grey and black rolls of fat, lazy water tapping the rear of the Gateway like an impatient ...
