South India and into 2008
Well, it had to happen, we are only back in India-aahHH!
I must say it was very exciting getting off the plane at Mumbai this morning. Fi and I nudging each other as we notice things that can only happen in India.. 40 staff doing each others job, and the customs hall with a dust cloud from the 'ongoing improvements' to the airport.
Getting out into the city was a breeze, taxi 3006 took us direct to our hotel in the Coloba district of Mumbai . Passing Chowpatty beach and Fi's favourite shopping malls on the way there.
Now we have truly acclimatised by having a lovely Veggy Indian meal and a few Kingfishers at Cafe Mondeal.
And tomorrow it's off to Kerala, where again we have been before, so we intend to relax and eat, then relax and maybe cycle, then eat again.. Very good therapy indeed!
Fi will be shouting "Masala Dosa!" as we enter the true south of India, and where food is all 'Pure' Vegetarian.
India hasn't changed much, but then deep down neither have we. We get into this traveling lark very quickly and it amazes me how Fi and I get on so well when we do it..
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A FANTASTIC NEW YEAR AND GOOD LUCK FOR THE START OF 2008
Fi and Jim, signing out (for now). Catch up in a few days, once on the coast of Kerala
