Mumbai moments

Arrived Mumbai last Friday or Saturday, the days have lost all meaning, now we only know day and night. Mumbai is a fantastic city to walk around, though this may also be due to it's western feel, stayed in the Fort Area (though didn't see any fort) and it's more or less a business district, lots of suits and skirts. Saw our first cat in India, think the hungry stray dogs see to the lack of cats. We were actually sorry to leave but had booked onward travel, such is life. Definitely much more expensive. Expensive is if dinner costs more than 300 rupees, about £4 for both of us, with drinks. There are also very few beggars or hawkers, though one guy selling dodgy DVDs did catch our attention, "dvd, english, hindy, sexy movies? Eh? gigidy gigidy!!" always had us in stiches :-) Not much else to mention though I did get the worst headache I literally have ever had after a 2 1/2 hour jaunt through the markets in the midday sun, felt like I was dying. Note to self, in future avoid sunstroke!! Spent the rest of the day in bed in agony and nearly puking with the pain. Did get to watch Men in Black 2 in the hotel later though so all's well that ends well.
