Mumbai, India - March 2025

Flew back to Mumbai on Monday evening and caught an Uber to the Four Seasons. Last two nights here. We checked in and then went up to AER for a drink and some food...

Slightly different view from the hotel room this time...

Tuesday morning we had breakfast at the hotel then caught an Uber to Gateway of India the starting point of our walk around the tourist area...

The famous Taj Palace Hotel where we nearly stayed...

Lots of colonial buildings...

Then we caught an Uber (cheap and easy) to a restaurant called Copper Chimney, not far from our hotel. It was a buffet and the staff were very helpful making us try all the dishes! The food was great.

We then walked back to the hotel and rested for a few hours. That evening we caught an Uber to Dome Bar at the Intercontinental to watch the sunset. We can see the sea from our hotel, but due to the smog, it's not clear. The Intercontinental is right on the sea...

We then caught an Uber to a bar closer to our hotel, which had been recommended. It was very quiet and felt like a sports bar.

And in fact the cricket was on, India vs Australia. And we didn't win :-)

Uber home and a quick drink at AER.

The next day we had breakfast at the hotel and then caught an Uber to the airport for our domestic flight to Bangalore. The good thing about this was we didn't need to pass through immigration here.

Flight was delayed a bit but we got to Bangalore and cleared immigration quickly. Headed to the lounge for a quick shower and some food.

The Qantas flight left on time at 1740 and I had dinner and watched Beetlejuice. Then took a sleeping tablet and slept for most of the 11 hour flight.

Landed on time around 1045am and got Uber home. Great trip but glad to be home.
