The drive through
the city was noisy and manic, but soooooo much fun. Being high up in the bus
gave us a great view over the cars, bikes, cabs, people, people with carts,
dogs, cows and whatever else wanted to use to roadway, forward, sideways,
diagonal and even backwards, it was just fantastic and eye opening.
Off the bus
again this time at the Crawford food markets, wow what a visual place this was and
the people here are just so friendly. Here the mix is more about the Indian
locals selling fruit, veg and spices to the everyday Indian to take home to
cook. Again the faces are amazing, so armed with my bag of sultanas and my
Aussie hat it was a great experience. Can’t believe the number of people that stopped
me and wanted selfies taken with me, must be that big white smiley face.
Pomegranates that tasted sooooo good
It’s clear I
need to get out more and be more adventurous with food! as today I got to try
my 1st ever custard apple, creamy texture and for me a hint on apricot
and fruit salad so it’s off to the vege department back home to buy some.
Our day
ended back on the ship, again lot of disinfectant for the shoes. All clean and
fresh as a daisy, it’s time to sit back on the deck and watch the boats sail by
with a Indian Tonic with a wee splash of gin, oh, so colonial. Later again off to
deck 5 to meet up with our chef from the market tour and then we do a hands-on
cooking class of some of Mumbai’s favorite dishes.
