Mumbai is not subtle, that’s for sure. Everything is right in your face. We are enjoying the experience, but we will have had enough soon. We spent the day walking around on our own, followed by a street food tour that took us all around the city to try lots of things.
The train station
Lots of shops are decorated for the Diwali holiday.
Yes, cows really do wander the streets here.
We found a hidden sanctuary for cows and other animals in the middle of the city, with baby calves, milk cows, and bulls. Some kids appeared out of the woodwork and gave us a quick tour. We gave them a little pocket change after.
Stopped by the Gandhi museum, where Gandhi lived while in Mumbai.
Important message from Gandhi.
Good Luck driving! You’ll need it.
An Indian family stopped us at the beach and asked to take a picture. Not to take a photo of them. They wanted a photo of us with them! Okay, this is going to be fun, India! Wait until we’re on our bicycles…
Our delicious veg masala dosa (mine was Mysuru style) for lunch. $1.50US with a Coca Cola.
The rest of the photos are from the food tour. I don’t know the names of all of it.
A guy dishing out little fried balls with different sauces in them. He’s been doing this for 20 years. Tasty little snack, but messy if they break.
One type of the fried balls. It comes with a number of different fillings and toppings.
Steve trying them!
Water buffalo balls. They call it “beef”. It’s illegal to eat cow meat in much of India.
Spicy chicken sandwich!
Chicken rolls, really good!
Ahhh the pictures are amazing. So much is special. You both look happy and healthy I am glad to observe. Love the optimism in “Good Luck” driving school. I’ve seen many you tubes of motoring in India and it is very scary.
Look forward to seeing more, as usual. I try to look around the corners of the pictures but it never works. 🙂
