India Day 9 – Trip to Mumbai

Now I know you’re asking what we need for the past five days, absolutely nothing but shopping for Indian cloth’s mainly for my sister. Mainly for the purpose of having them tailored before we went on our trip to Mumbai (Bombay) on the 5th.

We arrived extremely early at the train station to meet our cousins. We took the 6:00 a.m. train to Mumbai, which would allow us to arrive there at 2:00 p.m. Luckily we all had an A/C Coach ticket, which means that we all have individual reclining seats, with Air Conditioning all the way to Mumbai. The trip was quite comfortable, and we didn’t have any problems coming in and out of the train station.

We arrived at the Grand Hyatt at 4:30 p.m., checked-in and went to dinner at Pizza Hut. Now remember how I mentioned how bad the driving was in Ahmedavad, well multiply that situation by 5, and add in the fact that we are in Rikcha’s the whole time. You will then notice the fear I was facing every time we are driving in Mumbai. When we arrived at Pizza Hut, we found ourselves in familiar grounds with new twists. We couldn’t find any pizzas with sausage, or pepperoni, only chicken. And all the pizza had a curry taste, which if you are Indian was DELICIOUS. Seriously one of the best meals I had here in India. After we got back to our hotel, we all took showers and got ready for a night of clubbing.
