8th March: Today we got a 12hour day train to Mumbai - the final train journey of our time in India. We only had one day in Mumbai and spent it mainly shopping where i got asked to be in a Bollywood movie whihc unfortuinaly i couldn't do as it was for the next day when we had gone so i missed my chance at stardom! But we did manage to squeeze in a bit of sight seeing in the form of the gateway to India which was built for a British king. Later on we got a taxi over to Chowpatty Beach to people watch. It was the oddest place a really, really dirty beach full of locals, families eating picnics and kids on fairground rides, teenagers flirting and people that actually live on the beach taking a bath in the filthiest water you have ever seen! We also saw a few of the sights from the book Shantram (if you haven't read it you MUST) which was pretty cool. In the evening we went to a kebab stall that is so good it has expanded into a rough and ready restaurant on the street. Had some great food and a perfect way to round off our time in India....
