Arriving in Mumbai was like landing on a different planet. We met a girl on the plane and shared the exhilaration of a taxi ride to Colaba district. Scott and Shell were waiting for us at the "hotel" and were a sight fore sore eyes.
Mumbai overwhelmed us with the noise, smells, poverty and the incessant requests to buy or give to beggars. We did enjoy the boat ride to Elephant Island where we wandered through the temple caves built over 500 years ago by the Hindus.
I found that I could buy prescription glasses with transitional lens for just $40 a pair, so investeed $80 and figured the savings would almost pay for 3 weeks in India.
