Hello,
First of, Sorry I haven't blogged for a little bit. Friday morning we went to Mumbai to pick up Daddy and Rene. (Leigh and Benjamin went with us.) I might as well tell you about are whole weekend while I'm at it.
Friday morning we went to tennis and then went to breakfast. After breakfast a quick shower and getting our stuff ready we were ready to go to Mumbai a day early. Let me explain... Daddy didn't look over his travel plains quite right so he thought that he was getting home on Saturday night instead of Friday night. But, he found out and we decided to go on Friday!!! Now back to the story...
We left Pune at about 11:00 a clock in the morning. We drove for about 2 2 and a 1/2 hours and then got to the entrance of Mumbai. Let me get this straight, the trip to Mumbai is about 3 and a 1/2 to 4 hours of driving. If you're not stuck in CRAZY traffic almost all the way. That's what happened to us.
Here are a few pic of the traffic.
Though I didn't get very good pics, it does show some of the traffic.
We were in the car for another 3 hours and then managed to make it to our hotel. Our plan was to do a bit if sight seeing after we checked into the hotel. But, we were so fed up with the car and traffic that we decided to stay at the hotel and have a relaxing afternoon at the pool. It was very nice, the pool was warm, big and nice! We brought our picnic down and ate at the pool. Hummus, veggies, chips, salsa, potato salad, and more chips! YUM!
After that we went up to the room and got ready to go pick daddy up. Then we headed to the airport.
We waited for about 30 to 45 minutes, and then saw daddy and went to pick him up. We got back to the hotel and remembered that (we had Theo) pets weren't allowed where we were staying. Daddy talked to one lady and then talked to another man and then talked to another man and the talked to ANOTHER man. Then we talked to a lady (in a black suit) and she recommended some other hotel that allows pets and we decided to go there. So we drove for another 20 25 minutes and then got to our hotel. It was already like 11:30 at night and we were up till 1:00 A.M. So that was exciting.
The next day we had planned to go to a fishing village down south. Since we were up till 1:00 we decided against it and we headed towards the GATE WAY OF INDIA. That was pretty cool although it was SUPER HOT. Next we headed to the beach and found some street sellers (beach sellers) and ate there. I had Pao Bhaji, Leigh, Sam and Daddy also had Pao Bhaj, and Mommy had a dosa. It was fun. Then we went down to the beach and put our feet in. We got a lot of stares since every single person in the water was Male. Then we went to a laundry hanging outside. Explanation... This is where people bring there laundry and people wash it and hang it up, all males. So that was cool!!! Then we went to a temple which was not so cool... There was so, much poverty it was unbelievable. Some of it was disturbing and REALLY sad. After that we headed to the hotel and had a relaxing night! Thankfully! Here are some pics...
