Day 1-3 of 112: Mumbai, India
The gateway to India indeed!






Entering this city felt like we had stepped into a book or a tintin movie: tuk-tuks rushing everywhere, thousands of people everywhere, at any given moment of any given day. Women in multi-coloured sari's, the smell of spices all around, its like one constant , vibrant bazaar!
And of course the food! We have died and found ourselves in heaven! curries and dahl, papodoums, roti's, naan, lassi's, barfi of different flavours and colours, hhmmmm...(wim has already had gastro....)

We have visited Gateway of India and the (in)famous Taj hotel, taken hair-raising tuk-tuk drives, strolled along Juhu beach sipping coconuts at night and tonight I have had my hand and palm painted with mendi (henna).

We have had an awesome time in Mumbai, and tomorrow we move to the north...Darjeeling here we come!
