Today we spent another day waiting for a call. This time from Eve the lady from the Goa hotel. She said we should visit weds/thurs or thurs/fri and being Wednesday we needed to know if we were checking our stuff out. When Vincent rang her she was at the markets and said she'd ring back, so we decided to go to the famous Mumbai markets in case we aren't to be here much longer.We popped down to the train station and grabbed some 2nd class tickets along with another...

Today we just had to wait for the guys from Sutherland to call us back. We decided that it would be good to have a day of taking photos of some of the things we see every day.

We ventured out to find a working cash point so we could pay the hotel for our room, bought some snacks then returned to read our book.After dark we watched bats for a time. In the day it's a mass of pigeons, crows, Larry's and millions of huge dragonflies that fill the air, but at night its bats. There are the small ones we all see very rarely at home, here they are common, bu...
