| Mumbai, or Bombay if you insist, is a city deserving of more than three days! I was ever so sorry I couldn't stay longer. |

| The impressive cupola of the main train station - VT - Victoria Terminus, otherwise known by the new name, Chatrapati Sivaji Terminus |

 |
| While tickets can be purchased from machines, some people insist in lining up! |
 |
| Handling millions of passengers per day, one never gets the feeling of being overwhelmed. Certainly not while I was there around noon! Perhaps I should have tried rush hour. No thanks. |
 |
| In search of books, I wondered into several book shops around the main train station. |
 |
| Purchases in hand - videos, books, I was finally ready to say goodbye to this wonderful city. |
 |
| An urchin manages to steal fresh drinking water from a truck while it is forced to stop in traffic! |
 |
| Fariyas Hotel in Colaba was a great place to stay. Conveniently located for my needs, close to the Gate of India, cafes, and a local market. |
 |
| A local market in Colaba - could be anywhere in Kampala! |
 |
| I could see the water from my hotel window. As you can see, looming rain clouds! |
 |
| The hotel was only a stones throw from the grittier side of Mumbai - shacks for the poor trying to eek out an existence in the big city. |
 |
| When the tide is out, the site isn't so pretty. But, it does give some people a chance for a crap. Simple things in life. |
 |
| Chickens wander aimlessly amidst the heaps of garbage and derelict bicycles. |
