Mumbai

We arrived really early in Mumbai, the train got in at 6.45am and our taxis were waiting to take us straight to the hotel. On arriving we couldn't check in as our rooms weren't going to be ready until 12pm. So our tour guide treated us all to a Masala chai tea before the hotel let us have one room so people could freshen up. We then went for breakfast to a American style diner.

The group then parted ways. Some people went on a taxi tour of Mumbai while the rest of us couldn't face more travelling so decided to wander round the city ourselves. Where we came across a fashion market, 3 games of cricket and book stalls, the book stalls had every kind of book you could imagine it was like a library on the street and he was selling them for roughly £1.50. 

Mumbai is a strange city it's still quite Indian but it's more developed and there's a lot of construction going on where it is still developing. It's kind of in the middle sometimes you know your in India from the markets and the odd street dog and then you look up and there's a double decker red London bus. The other thing we noted was it's a lot cleaner, there's not piles of plastic rubbish on the streets there is also a lot less street dogs and no street cows or goats. Finally there is no tuk tuks instead they have been replaced with small Suzukis and Hondas.
