Survived india day 1

Today was my first day in mumbai. Its exhausting st the moment because everything is so new and needs to be discovered through trial and many errors! Thankfully indians are helpful and generally very nice. I started today with a rickshaw ride to the train station, a journey I think I would walk usually, if it were not 30° out there!

the train journey to the centre was only 20 ruppees, the same price as a bottle of water! A group of us walked from the main station to the gateway to india, a trip I'll be making again tomorrow to see the elephanta caves.

I love the life and noise that is all around mumbai, its amazing to see so many people all so busy. It seems like a place that never sleeps! Even more so than new york felt! I have to mentioned I got thoroughly ripped off on the price of a sim card, you constantly have to be alert here!

We had a massively expensive lunch at this fancy restaurant on the way to the gate way to india. Absolutely delicious!

Its now nearly 10 and bed is calling!
