Mumbai

Made it to Mumbai for Anne's flight home.  Our flight from Goa was only about two hours late in leaving (Pete and Margaret's was about five hours late), and arrived here to the expected insanely dense and loud driving that Mumbai is made of.  Stayed in a modern style hotel (Hotel Columbus), with all the amenities, for the night.  Went with Anne at 3am for her flight, but they only allow ticketed passengers in.  Ah well.
Have since settled in to the Bentley's Hotel in Colaba in Mumbai - only one and a half hot, stinky, very noisy hours worth of taxi drive to the hotel.  Have a huge room for three people (but charged for one), with a glassed-in sitting area balcony overlooking the main street.  A bit of noise for a bit a visual entertainment.  Took a walk around in the afternoon, had a bit of a meal and then a bookstore stop and a caramel latte (civilized place) and, as I'm very close to the Gate of India, went down to take in the early evening scene (which there is lots of).
Anyway, I still have blogging material for Goa, so I may hive-off the images to a separate blog, and then continue on with the trip.
