Mumbai, India Day 1

We had three full days in Mumbai – formerly known as Bombay. Jon and I made our way through the port area and outside the gate and were immediately swarmed by taxi drivers, all fighting each other to drive us. After some negotiating, we decided on Jimmy (a guide) who picked a taxi driver to drive us all. A five hour city tour of all the major sites (Queen Victoria Station, Prince of Wales Museum, Gateway to India, Hanging Gardens, Queen’s Necklace, a Jain temple and the ghat or laundry). I stayed onboard that night to let all the Cruise Staff to go for dinner.
