MUMBAI (BOMBAY) - We finally made it to Mumbai, where I fly out of tomorrow night. We took a sleeper bus to get here. (Just a tip, don't trust Paulo Travel!!) I think we've both sworn off buses in favor of trains though... far less chance of being rediculously late (it took about 20 hours at an average speed of 30 km/hr), and they stop in well marked predictable stations. Our sleeper bus featured a late night stop for some scary food we didn't go near, a creepy guy in the aisle seat that kept pulling back the curtain to look into our sleeper compartment, and a final destination completely different and much further than they promised they would drop us. We walked to a local train station and took a local train to the right area of Bombay with a French couple that also got kicked off the bus at the unpromised destination. Jo-Ann and Ann took the women only car (since apparently some Indian men like to crotch grab women on the train) and I took the train with Fabian. Except we got on the first class car by mistake, and got busted by the local transit authority. We weretrying to explain that it was an honest mistake when a super nice Indian man (yay! an Indian person not trying to screw us) actually paid the fine for us in the name of Indian hospitality. We found a hotel that was fairly reasonable (better be for bucket showers) and finally ate (after about 24 hours of bus and train and taxi trekking). Now we're enjoying the cosmopolitan modernization of Mumbai - caffe lattes, chocolate desserts, and movies (The Village). Tomorrow will be aq bit of shopping, and then I hop on the bird home. More to report when I am waiting in Kulala Lumpur. Love from Jo and Jeff.
