Sun-N-Sand Mumbai (Bombay)

... passent entre nos jambes... Mdr. Puis la derniere etape etait la plage de Bombay la plus connue, sous des trombes d'eau encore, puis 1 heure d'attente et deux changements de bus ( a l'arret svp) sans raison....<br>Bien sur on se retrouve Lee et moi dans un bus ou les fuites sont enormes, non en fait le bus est une fuite geante, et on attend sans savoir pourquoi... Des gens rentrent dans le bus, d'autres sortent, et les guides font comme si on ...

... to buy them from anyone except the people at the pier. We boarded our boat and took about 1hour to get there. Upon arrival we boarded this little train that took us to main Elephanta island village. There was this long staircase that we had to climb with vendors all packed in tightly next to each other. There were awnings covering the vendors, which I think just magnified the heat under it. No wind could get in and combined with the stair climbing, it became a rather ...

Determined to enjoy the best of spring, I made another trip to the zoo this morning, Sunday 22 March 2009. The weather was still pleasant, veering to warm when out of the shade. The Saraca Asokas were in full glorious bloom as were the Lignum Vitaes ...

... to a kinda-slick bar and i had a tastey brownie with ice cream at an italian cafe after that. mumbai for ya! the next day rachel had prepped a great route for us to walk around the city and see some buildings. we stopped in at teh national modern art gallery, but we really liked the free jehangdir art gallery near by, with i'd argue better quality artwork. after that we hit up the reserve bank of india's ...

... with Wanda, Hubert's sister to meet the following day at Leopold. Suddenly we saw people running and shouting at us, telling us to not going to Colaba. We didn't know in the begining what was going on but then we notice that it was something quite big. So Aman just took us to his flat. Now I think he is the envy of the neighbourhood having a couple of western girls in his place! That was the beginig of a couple of days into the flat, watching ...

... my money elsewhere. But for now, it is still sitting there, and I STILL cannot get to it. I am just about to run out of money and then will have to rely on the Bank of Liz. We are currently waiting on delivery attempt no. 3 and if that doesn't work, I will ask them to send it to my parents again and it can come out with my friend Rhian at Christmas. The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous.

... tablets and hadn't put any insent repellent on - so spent most of the ride into the city waving off - or squashing mosquitoes. Got to the hotel about 8pm and just about crashed. The hotel is fairly central. Enough off the beaten track that it isn't expensive, but close enough that we can walk to places. Spent some time mapping out what we were going to do tomorrow.

... experience, getting off at the right station is pure luck for a new beginner :) Holi -how can I discribe it? You need to try it to know! It was a day when all the peole were playing with water and colour powder. Who ever could throw colours on you! My clothes are still red/yellow/green/blue and my hair (after 3-4 washes) is green-ish. It was fun! Then also something in Finnish... Eli siis suuntana Goa huomenissa. Tarkotus oli lahtea jo tanaan, mutta ...

... the walk we were discussing various topics right from office matters to how good was Wikepedia..trust me it was absolutely fun to walk with such a lively crowd.. We stopped at quite a few places to take a breather..There was not a single sign of civilisation all along the road.. finally we were happy to see some sign of civilisation and that was when we reached Matheran.. and that was at 1:00AM We started off ...

... the keyboard, and then taught her how to reach the letters 'g' with the left pointing finger and 'h' with the right pointing finger. I, as a beginner, always had difficulties with this, since one had to uncomfortably stretch the pointing finger away from the hand. But she had no problems in doing so. I told her to always return to the home keys, that is the letters a, s, d, f for the left hand and the letters 'j, k, l, ;, for the right hand. So ...
