Guys,
Sorry haven't commented. I have checked a couple of times so far and now is the time!!

We quite liked Mumbai but we were in Delhi and Jaipur before then so were very used to absolute chaos! The poverty did at times shock you to the bone and stays with me today. We actually thought Chowpatty beach was fun!!! Did you see the ferris wheel powered by people???

I'm impressed with your efforts on getting around. I'm sure i told you "the train food was great but make sure you wrap up warm" but you've learned this already. And I know exactly what you're on about when it comes to not being hassled or stared at the whole time... Somehow it got better as time went on so there's hope.

We seem to have made opposite decisions to you guys at times. We had the choice of Ellora caves or Ajanata caves.. we went Ajanta. Also choice of Udaipur or Jaipur... we went Jaipur. And if you were feeling like a break from hectic places, you made the right choice... I think Jaipur is the most insane place I've ever been!

You have to admit though... the times when you felt unsafe are almost non-existant aren't they :D

I'd like to know what you think of the Taj Mahal... we made a point of being there for when the sun comes up (less people but cold) and thought it was well worth the effort... unlike the rest of Agra!

Keep having fun folks.
