Ok, still here in Mumbai but looking forward to leaving tomorrow. It's been hothothot, polluted and loudloudloud. I'm now walking around all the time with earplugs in - a great suggestion by Anne. There are some great places for food & drink on the main drag here in Colaba, but you're absolutely deafened when you sit in them, between either loud music, street noise echoing inside and loud patron voices. Took a short walk yesterday in the city during the day, but the heat beat me down; then a boat ride at 3pm to go to the island of Elephanta. Even hot on the hour-long ride on the boat, though less than in the city. I think I sweated out a couple of liters walking the steps (through solid walls of small shops selling everything that you see everywhere) and then to the rock temples. Wild and worthwhile to see, though I think that the half or one hour earlier boats (they leave every half hour from the Gateway to India) would be a better idea. Just did some walking about today, but decided to get a matinee movie in to get to sit in a cold, dark place - saw the teen's vampire flic 'New Moon'. Definitely a fan base of teen girls here.
Anyway, off to check my pics & a read & a snooze.
