Here I am in sunny Mumbai!
The plane ride was good - Qantas only booked about 20% of the seats on the plane so I had an entire row to myself. It meant I could lay down across the seats, but I still only got about an hour...
My hotel is lovely (thanks to Hana) but it is out near the airport (about an hour and a half out of downtown Mumbai). I couldn't really face a 3 hour round-trip so I decided against heading into town. I had to buy myself a pair of long pants, so instead I decided on a trip to the Bandra markets (recommended to me by Lachie Daddo on the in-flight getaway spot). I got up this morning bright and early, ate my buffet breakfast (thanks again to Hana) and at 9am made my way out to get a taxi to the market. Unfortunately Lachie forgot to tell me that the markets don't open until 11. So my morning at the market ended up being my morning in a taxi. Luckily my taxi driver knew a couple of places so I ended up getting my pants (a little more expensive than I would have liked but not too bad).. I'm happy I got out of the hotel and checked some of the place out but most of it was seen through the window of a taxi..
I'm out to the airport again in about an hour and heading to Delhi where my tour begins tomorrow. It'll be good to be in a group, and have some other travellers to talk to.
Anyway, thing's are going well - the Indians are winning the cricket so everyone here's in a good mood - and I'll write again soon.

Hey Roo Roo,
Good to hear that everything is going well and that you are enjoying yourself.
Nothing has changed here, Hannah was meant to come over an hour ago to say goodbye before she heads off tomorrow. We have just had beautiful weather over the long weekend so Abby and Edward came over to swim.
I hope that the tour goes well and that you continue to enjoy yourself.
Lots of Love Annabel, Sam, Mum and Dad
