Mumbai - final moments


My last few weeks in Mumbai have been spent enjoying what there is to do both locally and in one of my favourite places in India, Udaipur.  I have continued my walks, trying to do 5k every day, either in the evenings around Joggers' Park, or on weekend mornings down Bandstand, up Mount Mary, along Carter Road and over Pali Hill.  There is so much that I'm going to miss!


One walk that I did with Tracy was through the underpass of the motorway and along the seafront opposite Mahim.  There is a lot of funky artwork on the bridge as well as a Mumbai installation along the front.






As well as this there have been a flurry of people who have wanted to spend time with me.  One of these is Tara who has met me several times for evenings drinks and a couple of times for brunch (at Taj Lands End, the Leela and the Oberoi).  I've also been out for Diana's birthday brunch to the Marriott in Juhu.  Tara and I have also managed to "gatecrash" a couple of the hotel pools for a swim after our brunches.




It was also great to finally meet up with someone I've known online for almost 10 years - Edna - who came to Mumbai for a PYP workshop.  We went to the Novotel in Juhu for drinks by the Arabian Sea.




Gosh - I will miss this place!
