Oh My, Mumbai!

Paul's parents flew into Mumbai last night. We picked them up at the airport. Paid a small bribe to leave the airport parking and made our way to the Grand Maratha Hotel for our evening's rest. We woke around 9 am to make our way down to Colaba to have a nice brunch at Indigo Deli. On the way, we decided to stop at the Dhoby Ghat (otherwise known as the Indian laundromat). Here you can see the Dhobywallas, laundry cleaners, cleaning the fabric.
A morning commuter train passes us by packed with people . . .

We finally make our way to Colaba, locate the Indigo Deli, have brunch, and walk over to the Gateway of India. Oops, we were not paying attention for this photo and were busy chatting away.

Here's a better posed photo . . .
A photo of the Taj Hotel after the recent terrorist attacks. Despite the terror attacks, Colaba was teeming with life on this sunny afternoon.

After the Taj Hotel and some brief shopping in Colaba, we make the 3 hour journey by car back to Pune. Hungry and tired, we walk over to Soho for some kebabs and pizza before heading back to the flat for dinner.
