Is a big f...ing trip. It took me 36 hours by bus, then train, then bus again. It involved stopping in Bombay for an hour or so, and it felt like coming home.
Bombay from the taxi (all the mosques are green in the city, for some reason):
The Oval Maidan, where the kids go to play cricket. Saying you're Australian in here is tantamount to having to bat all afternoon, so they can all have a turn at getting you out:
Whoever designed Bombay was a genius: wide open tree-lined streets, great architecture, lots of parks. It takes a while to look past everything else to see how pretty it is though. Everyone lives on the street (as in eating, shopping, talking), so you can see the whole city at work just walking around.
Well a quick time there to rejuvinate, then on to Goa, to visit my uncle Gosh.

Oh sigh...if only the whole world could be as nice. It sounds like you're having a delightful time alex. I do hope you're having as splendid time as you make out to be having. the weather back here has been rather drab though when you get back we won't have much to tell you.
