Early start today. Pickup by Grab at for my flight from Singapore Airlines. Arrived in Mumbai on time at 1045.
Coming in to Mumbai...
It was quick through immigration and I was met by a driver arranged by my work for the APAC Partner Conference. He took us to the Four Seasons at Worli. Greeted by about a hundred staff (!) and easy check in. Unpacked and had a couple of meetings over lunch in the hotel restaurant.
Back to my room for a shower. This is the view from my room. The sea is not far away, but it's so smoggy you can't see far...
Then we headed to AER the rooftop bar for dinner. It's a lovely space...
I worked all day the next day but had a brief break in the afternoon so I went for a walk around the block. It's hard to walk as there is only footpath for part of the way. I found refuge in this Catholic Cemetery...
This guy bomb checked each car coming into the hotel...
There was a relaxation room in the gym and the personal trainer would bring me masala tea (he wasn't that busy)...
Another sunset...
The formal dinner was a sit down affair and that was after a lot of canapes!
After dinner the dancers came on...
I can see this street from my room so on my last morning I walked down it. It's very run down and the street suddenly stops...
A guy lead us out there and we ended up at the Nehru Planetarium. We gave him some money. I was expecting to be harassed by locals for money but it seldom happened.
I thought this was a bit incongruous, a Porsche being washed in such a clearly poor area...
This poor taxi driver pushing his car...
Wandered into a local shopping centre which was pretty dead. Love the name of this jewellery shop...
Then walked around the block and back to the hotel.
Had some lunch and headed to the airport for our 7pm domestic flight to Udaipur.
