We had a wonderful day on this tour, with expert local guide, Aman, who took us to many different places in Mumbai. What a vibrant and colourful city it is. We found some shade near the Gateway to India, and Aman outlined some of the history of the city and of India. We watched the passing parade of people (something you can do, everywhere in India!); saw one of multiple simultaneous cricket matches on the same oval (how do the fielders know which ball to catch?!); marvelled at the industry and efficiency of the dhobi ghat, the world's largest laundry; caught a local train; enjoyed the vibrancy and beauty of Victoria Terminus; ate some local curries; drank chai; had a Bollywood dance class (lots of fun!); and savoured the sights and fragrances of the spice market. So very special. What a wonderful city and wonderful people.
