Bombay Dreams

We left Bali for Bombay, stopping in Singapore for a couple of nights.
As this was our 3rd visit to Singapore, we won't bore you with the details, but we stayed in Chinatown this time and had delicious Chinese food.,
We arrived in Bombay or Mumbai and stayed with family friends for 4 nights. Karan came to pick us up from the airport and Hetvi; his wife had a delicious, authentic meal waiting for us - yummy!
That evening we all went out to a Bharat Natyam, which is a South Indian dance show. Full of colours, expert dance moves and great live music. The next day we chilled Indian style with Karan's family next door and all had a big breakfast together. Karan then took us out to where the locals shop for an "experience", which was fantastic. Hustle and bustle, with a mix of smells including incense sticks and samosas cooking.
That evening Karan's parents returned from a short break and we all had a meal together, joined with Ashok Uncle from London (Shivani's Sister's Father-In-Law), who also happened to be visiting India at the same time as us.
The next morning we got up early (for us anyway) and took a stroll along Juhu Beach, just 5 mins by car/scooter from Karan's house. We then went and visited a beautiful and very peaceful temple, which is where the photo was taken. Stopped on the way home at the roadside for a coconut drink drink and carried on our day..... tbc......
