Mumbai

When we arrived in Mumbai, we took a taxi to the gateway of India. The taxi was an experience in itself. Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures later. And the traffic was horrible. Mr.T and I came to the conclusion that the traffic rules are that you drive mostly on the left side on the road, and then you honk your horn more often than not. It was a very interesting day in Mumbai. We went around to different shopping malls and bazaars. There is a lot of stuff to buy here, and before we go home I am going to spend all my money on this stuff =)

As I suspected, the Indians are looking at me a lot, as a blond, whitescinned lady. Mostly its okey, but some of the guys make me a little nervous. But I am seldom alone so I'm not worried.

We spent the first night in Mumbai and then took a early train to Goa. In the morning when we went to the train station, it was shocking to see, that people were sleeping in the streets. A lot of people. Maybe I will not complain anymore, that I have no own place...

We had the "best" train ticket class, and it had aircondition. That was nice. The train was clean, but it was not in very good shape, at least not in Finland standards. The train ride was meant to take 13 hours, but it was a little bit late, so it took about 15 hours. The distance is about 600km. I think I will never again complain that the trainride to my parents takes to long. Thankfully we were able to sleep on the train. And the service was great to, so great that me and mr.T thougt that the guys could stop serving now.

Well, we arrived in Goa, and got a taxi to a hotel. The hotel we are now staying in is very nice, it has a pool and it is very clean and in good shape. We have slept here for two nights now, and are thinking about spending another night here. But after that we are continuing our trip somewhere else.

Now I'm going to get some breakfest. I think I will have to sit in the shades because it is so hot over here. And I think I burned my face yesterday. Well, have a nice day at work people! Thinking of all of you!!!
