Gateway of India - Selfie Mission

“Go in and take a selfie. I’ll meet you at the gate of that hotel” as Fateh points randomly off into the distance. I took on the mission and proceeded through the pointless security check and out onto the square full of everyone else taking selfies. I took a few obligatory selfies but found the gate kinda underwhelming. Like I guess it’s cool and all, but eh… seen one gate seen ‘em all? Probably doesn’t help that the waters of the Arabian Sea laps around the gate and smells like sewerage.

When you turn around to leave you get a view of the Taj Mahal Palace. Now that was impressive, and at $400 a night it would want to be. Maybe next time 😉 No seriously - next time!

It was at this point the heavens really opened up and my feet became wetter than after going swimming. Time to call this day tour to a close. Had a great time exploring Mumbai with Fateh (who not once left the car). Definitely a nice taste of India and a teaser for perhaps a future trip.Weiterlesen
