We were lucky enough to spend a few days in Mumbai with Gloria's family.
Marty, Melman and Gloria flew with JetKonnect from Delhi to Mumbai, but also had to take a bus in between to get to the right terminal! It was scorching hot! We met so many curious people in the airport who asked about our onesies, and why on earth we were wearing them! A few brave little girls came to have photos taken with us, and asked us lots of questions - was great to see such young inquiring minds at work.
At the Mumbai airport bag collection, we met an attendant who came up to us and gave Melman a hug!! At first got confused and thought he knew us from somewhere ... but actually he was just super impressed at our costumes!!!!! We spent quite a while talking to him, and he was friendly and promised to spread the word re Plan-UK. Lets hope he does!
In Mumbai, we spent lots of time with Gloria's family whilst also eating LOTS of amazing food, visited sites all over Mumbai and relaxed a lot.
We visited Elephanta caves in South Mumbai, via ferry. The island probably houses more monkeys than residents! The monkeys are so used to visitors bringing food, that they know how to steal food and open cartons etc etc. We saw monkeys opening bottles and drinking from them - like humans! ... eating Kulfi ice cream, and creeping up on unsuspecting picnickers. It was so funny to watch!!
We also visited India gate, Dhobi Ghat, Victoria Terminus, Crawford Market, Hanging Gardens, Colaba Market - to name just a few!
The few days we got to spend in Mumbai, were fantastic. Seeing family, relaxing and sightseeing - the perfect recipe for a good break!
