Gateway of India
CST (preciously known as Victoria) Terminus at dawnHi, just a quick update as to what I've been up to;
Day 1 - Landed at half midnight, went to hotel new bengal, it was basically a glorified box with a bed, fun times :) Checked out at 6.30 (my bodyclock is haywire) and wondered around Mumbai. Saw the famous CST station, and the Gateway to India, then found my way to Red Shield Hostel, where I booked a dorm bed. Got recruited to be a Bollywood extra. Spent the rest of the day wondering around with some people from my dorm, had chicken tikka for lunch (half Indian half British to ease me in ;p )
Day 2 - Bollywood! For 12 hours of filming as a bartender, talking to the main character and eating curry, I got 500 rps (about 7 pounds). I also met loads of people doing the same thing, most seem to be heading to Goa.
Day 3 - Today, I met up with two girls from Manchester called Ellie and Jules, to buy train tickets for Goa. Afterwards, we took a taxi to Banganga Tank, the supposed centre of the universe, which had a dozen temples or so around... We went into those, and a really cool Jain temple. The pics should get up on facebook sometime! We had a really nice lunch, and in the evening headed to CHowpatty beach, where we watched the sunset, went on a death defying fairground ride, and ate lots of food from various stalls.
Day 4 - Went to Elephanta Island today, it was awesome, masses of temples cut into the rock.
