Mumbai

Crowded streets, polluted skies and oppressive heat were what we expected from Mumbai, we were pleasantly surprised by the wide tree lined streets under the blue skies and the cool breeze from the sea. We spent our days exploring the city on foot, eating lots of food and drink from the streets and visiting galleries and museums. We spent a lovely evening wandering along Chowpatty beach and Marine drive eating Bhel Puri and channa masala and another having a drink in the infamous Leopolds.
On our final morning we took a tour of the Dhavi slum - the biggest in Asia - it was a fascinating experience and instead of the pity we expected to feel we were filled with admiration for the people who lived enterprise and happiness, the tour was certainly one of the highlights of India!!
Our last night was spent at 'Blue Frog' it's one if the happening joints in Mumbai for some music and dancing, Tiramasu and very expensive G&T!!
Mumbai continuously confounded our expectations and we loved it.
