Last day- Mumbai

We really had an interesting half day tour. It started with the army and navy headquarters, remnants of the British.  Moved on to the dhobi washer area. All men. Pounding and scrubbing away.  

Moved on to a traditional fishing village that is right in the middle of a very posh residential area 

These guys at on a poor man's paddle board, a net filled with styrofoam. It's a way to get out to your boat...

This is Victoria station a reported 5 million people move through here every day. I can just imagine the Brits arriving by ship and taking the train out to the wilds of India from here.

The hanging gardens feature high on my  favorites list, lovely, cool and peaceful. 

There was a group of very small children having their lunch in the gazebo, sandwiches and potato chips on paper plates.

These are the non fishing pleasure boats in the bay. 

After a visit to the Gandhi museum and lunch at Leopold's cafe, a fixture since 1871 we walked back to our hotel and are sitting by the pool sipping drinks to kill time before catching our 3 am flight.
