Hi All!
Went to Elephanta Island yesterday and had a fun time...Despite the name there isn't any Elephants, only lots of caves, dogs and best of all Monkeys (Should be called Monkey Island Really!!) The monkeys over populate the place and have come accustomed to free food by tourist. Like this little guy
We went to the Island in the afternoon which I personally would not advise as it was over crowded and very hot. We got there by boat and it was a relaxed and breezy journey to the Island that took and hour. On arrival we had to walk along a long narrow wall and then tracked up some 130 or so stairs to reach to top. There we mostly watched and took pictures of the monkeys. like this one, they were getting water from the tank.
The Caves were cool but we got through them quickly...here is a picture of the Hindu God/Deity Shiva
We went back shortly after as we did not want to miss the last boat.
