Hi Everyone!
So far Rach and I are having a great time relaxing in India, the flight over was fine despite a 1 minute spout of heavy turbulence in which I started sweating terribly. We picked up a taxi from the airport and headed straight to Colaba which cost 480 Rupees (About 6 - 8 pounds) bit pricey I though buy paid willingly. Heading to the Taxi a man decided to make himself useful and grab the ticket from my hand, read it then lead the way. saying "ah! 5189, come with me". After finding the Taxi he asked for English Pounds. I gave me 20 rupees as the taxi drove off. On the way the heat was intense and we were almost in a few minor collisions (quite the norm for India) on arrival we checked into the Carlton Hotel and paid for four nights, we paid a bit more than I assumed but that was justified when the guy showed me the brand new bathrooms and showers he had installed. After that we ate at Leapolds and then went back to the hotel and slept till the next day. First sleep in 30 hours.
Today we were asked by a guy named Joel to take part in the Bollywood movie, one which we had to refuse as it was short notice. He said his Norwegian friend is hooked up with a casting agency and she need twenty Europeans and the coach will arrive in a hour.
Tomorrow..Elephanta Island
