Mental Mumbai

Got to India after a long journey through Dubai.

We are staying in an area not very popular with tourists so we are getting the odd stare, but think that is all part of the game!
On the other hand, got some very cheap dining ... Two meals for less than £2! 
Went for a walk and explored Mumbai - chaotic, hot, poor, mental, beepy (as in the horn beep), sweaty and rainy.
Managed to get on a bus today: Mumbai buses have no doors and you basically have to run onto them while they are still moving. They can get really busy and I am not sure you wanna fight the locals for a spot on the bus!

Just a goat, hanging out on a bike outside our hotel.

Also went to see the "Gateway of India", an arch built to commemorate the visit of the British king George VI in 1911: very busy with local tourists... And we also got asked to take some pictures with a couple of locals. Feels weird to be the foreigners!
