A little crispy around the edges






Oh dear. Sat out in the sun a little too long today. Desperate to get the last of the sun before I go home on Friday I think I over did it. My forehead and chest copped the worst I think, have been covering it in Aloe Vera all day but don't like the non-peeling chances....

Took a train to Bandra this afternoon with Leigh and Ken, just to check it out. Its supposed to be the Morningside of Mumbai but to be honest it was much the same as the rest of the place. We wandered up the main road when we arrived, looking for all the cool places we have heard about. We found a department store that was sooo full of staff they were practically chasing us around the shop trying to sell us stuff (someone needs to tell them desperation is a bad look) and we quickly moved on - although not before spotting this very odd and dodgy DVD...not sure if its clear but it says its "non-veg sexy", hmmmmm.
We had a spot to eat at the Cream Centre, which is always a good bet, the branch on marine Drive does a mean Macaroni Cheese (spicy, of course). We headed back for the train, trusting Ken's in built compass heading down a very dodgy back street. To be fair we came out right opposite the station, but we did have to pass all of manner of oddities on the way down there, although the locals seemed to think I was as interesting as I found them - I guess we are all exotic outwith our own comfort zones....
