MUMBAI (BOMBAY)After a reasonable night on the very swanky coach we finally arrive on the outskirts of Mumbai in the early morning... we pass row upon row of slum houses where families are having their breakfasts, doing their washing or getting washed themselves on the pavement outside their huts (males only, females inside - this is India!) . It's fairly shocking to me even after a month in India, but I can't tear my eyes away from it. I just keep watchi...

On the road to the City Centre we pass all manner of traffic - you name it, it is there - but we arrive at the hotel in tact and ready to see what we have in store over the next few days.We are staying just off the Main Bazaar and it gives us a great feel for the delights of Delhi - the place is constantly buzzing with people trying to sell to us - you name it, the...
