Eating our way through Mumbai: April 18th-19th

As the title says, we spent our 24 hours in Mumbai trying as many different restaurants as possible because Mumbai is known for having fantastic food.

We woke up early the morning of the 18th and flew from Udaipur to Mumbai— I almost threw a mini party when we said good by to Dhib for the final time! We arrived in Mumbai mid-morning and went straight to our hotel for long, needed naps. The heat and bustle of Raj had tired us out.

Around noonish we got up and started our rushed tour of Mumbai. We saw the India Gate, The Taj Palace Hotel, and a lot of restaurants.

We went to a famous market later on (which was actually pretty lame) and hopped on a moving bus— I can check that off my list!

For dinner we went to Chowpatty Beach and watched the sun set over the city with all the locals. This was probably my favorite part of Mumbai. The beach was crowded with locals gathering to watch the sunset, playing in the waves, and eating delicious street food.

On the 19th included more eating and wandering around. In the afternoon, to kill some time, we went to see a movie in a local theater. The movie was an adaption of a book I had read by an Indian author and was in Hindi. The movie, 2 States, tells the love story of two Indians from different states. It was a great movie and even included a few Hindi dance numbers!

After the movie we waited around until 10pm, and then headed to the train station to catch our night train to Goa.
