Mumbai, India 9Apr14

Here we are again hot and bustling Mumbai

but the temperature today was so civilised and pleasant.

It is an over night port so 

we can have dinner in a local restaurant till late.

 Taj Hotel Mumbai.

Greg spent nearly 2 hours in the hotel's spa
pampering himself 

with hair cut, manicure, pedicure and massage while 

I was in the Starbucks behind the hotel
updating my Facebook with free wi-fi.

***********************************************************

 This is a Muslim style Indian restaurant and
we have lunch here whenever we are in Mumbai.

They do not serve pork and alcohol.

Good service and food with the coolest air conditioner. ^^

 We became so loyal to this local restaurant Khyber over recent years

which is also very popular for cruise crew and staff 

as well as repeat cruise passengers like us...

 We arranged a big table with some of passengers 

who disembarked here in Mumbai as a farewell dinner. 

Couples from Wanganui, New Zealand and Martha's Vineyard and Baltimore...

 Delicious!!!
