Hello Everybody!
I arrived yesterday after a quick travel (arrived an hour early) in Mumbai. By taxi we went to the hotel. What a ride, it was extremely busy on the road and the people drive like crazy. People on the street everywhere. Whole families and children sleeping and begging dirty on the street.... very difficult and sad to see. Also there are cats, dogs, goats and cows on the street.
Prepared my bed in the hotel complete with net around bed and after we went for breakfast.
Ordered something really too much spicey, ooooeeeps hhaha. First burned my mouth and after my stomach. My god, got completely dizzy of it. So next time more carefull. The rest of the day walked and arranged a phone number 00917738958410 and hopefully the internet will work soon on that. Everytime back to the hotel to go to the toilet and have a rest. So I was completely exhausted at the end of the day. Went to sleep at about 12. Atabout 4 in the night 3 others of the group arrived. After that I slept until 8 and went out with 1 of the group for Breakfast and a walk around to arrange internet and phone again. Now we will go back to see if the rest of the group is awake to have 1 day of relxing in Mumbai. Tomorrow we take the train to Gokarna (under Goa). That will take about a day and night. Hope i will survive.
No medical problems yet, it is warm but not hot. It is the coldest day since 10 years ... about 28 degrees. It is ok, but the smeel on the streets is horrible. My bed is ok, a bit hard but that is nice for my back.
Well abything else?? I am fine and hope to get my inbternet on my phone soon. I will keep all of you up to date. You can sms on my dutch phone.
The hardest thing here is all the beggers, they keep on coming and asking for food and money. Specially the children is really sad to see. Also I feel famous, people want to take photo's with us or they just make photos. because of our white skin, they love it!
Ok, i am going! Will write again soon. This was just my first day experience!
Love you all, keep in touch!!
