India - Mumbai

The last stop of our trip took us to Mumbai where our friends Sanjeev and Nilima graciously hosted us and toured us around Mumbai.  They also took us to some food stalls to try some super authentic Indian cuisine. 
Gol Gappe (Pani Puri)
a popular street snack in India. It is a round, hollow puri, fried crisp and filled with a mixture of water, tamarind, chili, chaat masala, potato, onion and chickpeas.

Tokri Chaat
an Indian fast food made from crispy wafers, potatoes, boiled peas, seasoned yogurt and sauces


Taj Mumabi where the terrorist attack occurred in 2008


Gateway of India - which was built to commemorate the 1911 visit of King George and Queen Mary.  Construction was competed December 4th, 1924.


From the Gateway we took a ride to Mnemba island on Tina and Sam's brand new toy a 36 foot power boat.



Tina and her son Sam - we met them both in Bali


Upon arrival on Mnemba island we caught site/video of a very very near miss ferry accident. Let me tell you, after what we witnessed, I was incredibly thankful we did not have any plans to ride any ferrys in India.  That being said... it would have been icing on the cake for our crazy India transportation mishaps! (Still not worth it!)



Antilla - the 27 story - worlds most expensive house. The property has 3 helipads, 6 floors of parking, a series of floating gardens and certianly stands out in the downtown Mumbai Skyline.


Really enjoyed our time with Nilima and Sanjeev.  Even had a chance to help Nilima with her school project (she is currently taking classes to become a primary school teacher) by cutting out a bunch of letter  B's!
