View from our room of India Gate, and the Arabian Sea. That's a corner of the Taj Palace Hotel on the right, where in 2008 a 3-day terrorist siege took place and 31 people died.
Photo taken on the grounds of Mumbai's biggest and best museum, which also has a really long name -- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya Museum.
One-hour boat ride out to Elephanta Island to see the famous ancient cave temples, a Unesco World Heritage Site.
The seagulls seem to really love the salty snacks.
Lots of monkeys out on Elephanta Island. Right after we arrived, we stopped outside the caves for fruit and cashews but didn't get a chance to eat because 2 monkeys snuck up behind us, grabbed the food and ran up into the trees.
It seems many people from India really don't mind having their picture taken.
Siesta time during the boat ride back to Mumbai from Elephanta. The guy on the right is amused to see that Dawn is taking my photo.
Street shot in Mumbai's famous Colaba District.
Nice pics. That fellow organizing the big bags of clothes on a narrow carrier with small wheels in a busy street is so typical of India. Those monkeys are cute but they are very quick food snatchers and can be mean. I have had that problem with monkeys in south India and also in the remote parks in Malaysia.
