Wandered around Mumbai city area, Chowpatty Beach and the Hanging Gardens on Malabar Hill. The gardens were lovely - an opportunity to sit on some grass and relax away from the hustle and bustle. We had to help the taxi driver taking us back to Colaba today, he was a very young and shy guy and somehow we knew where to go better than he did! We must have been in Mumbai too long. The gardens had "penguin-bins" (see photo). I have no idea what penguins are doing in Mumbai. This one wanted its picture taken with my hat on.
There is plenty of cricket happening on ovals all around the city. It makes me feel at home being able to walk up to people and talk about cricket. Cricket has been a big issue here with the resignation of the coach, Greg Chappel, and a bunch of Indian Cricket Board meetings to work out how to give the players a "wake-up". It takes about half the time on the cable news hour that is fed to our hotel room.
