ITC Maratha Mumbai (Bombay)

Et puis j'aime bien gouter a Mac Do dans les pays que je visite...<br>A+<br><br>

... direct bus to Udaipur when I didn't see the name of the list he was showing us. He said that there were just too many cities to list (shady tip-off #2).They were asking RS$2200 for an A/C sleeper and RS$1500 for a non-A/C sleeper. We found that to be too expensive. We said we wanted to think about it and he started lowering the price. We asked to take the paper he had been writing prices and details on with us and he said we couldn't take it (super shady tip-off #3 ...

... y a un comptoir pour les etrangers, nous sommes peu nombreux et ils ne sont pas bavards. on attend un peu moins d'une heure (c'est rapide) et nous n'avons plus de place pour les wagons avec A/C. alord on prend le train de nuit en couchette sans A/C... affaire a suivre. Nous profitons de l'apres midi pour aller sur Elephant Island, une curiosite locale a une heure de ...

... film city' in the north of Mumbai we got ready for a day of sitting around doing nothing. First, we got our lovely costumes. For me a rather unattractice black, sparkly and stretchy cocktail dress (but a big improvement on the first offering - a peachy coloured one which was, damn, a bit too small) and a lovely white suit, silk turquoise shirt and white cuban heels. Next, ushered on to set, we are to be in a sort of party ...

... all over India.I also spent some time visiting a temple(it was rubbish) hanging out in local cafes drinking lassi's(mmmh) and checking out everything that was strange and new. I think the most memorable bit of my stay in Mumbai was watching Barack Obama be elected for president.I cried with joy.Maybe I was tired and emotional but all the same it moved me .Whether he's up to the job or not who knows but it will certainly give people ...

... delaying any advantage we had to leave the airport. The combination of our bags being the very last ones off the luggage carousel and the clarity of customs signs (which there were none) for "Nothing to Declare" versus "Declare" - made our early arrival into a 2 hour wait in the airport. Now onto hotel shopping at a quarter past midnight - after our cab dropped us off ...

... other spots in the city so down we went. Nicco called around noon to say he had arrived so we told him to hire a car and come on down. When he showed up after his two hour journey, we told him we were ready to head back to the hotel...I think he almost cried. :) We ended up at another bar and had some lunch before making the decision to head back up north to the hotel. Because we knew our journey would be long, we got some roadies in a bag of ice and headed ...

... kuumuutta ja ilma seiso, tunne oli melko painvastainen...Tehtiin paivan retki Mumbain ulkopuolelle, hienot oli maisemat ja Intiassa moottoripyoran kyydissa istuminen ihan kokemus. Yleisesti Mumbai on ollu tosi hieno kokemus tahan asti. Helletta riittaa ja aurinkorasvaa kuluu. Ei kokonaista paivaa ulkona jaksa olla! Huh, helletta. Jo alkaa kevytta rusketustakii ilmaantuun...:) Mumbai kaupunkina on ...

We finally made here and to our hotel in Colaba at 2.30am, just one thing missing.... our bags!! We had the worlds most slowest journey in a cab to Colaba but in a very cool cab and very mad driving. Our hotel is quite reasonable to say we thought it was gonna be a dump... First day today.. we headed out into Colaba to explore, walked down to the harbour to see ...
