New blog

Had to create a new blog as the other one wouldn't work here for some reason! Anyways we got to Mumbai yesterday and got a taxi into town to find a hotel. The traffic system here consists of beeping your way through, no signals or being considerate its amazing how they don't crash or bump into each more because its only a few mm between the cars on the road. After a bit of walking and sweating us through the roads with our backpacks we found and a hotel with an ok prize and we even got our own toilet and "shower" (it nearly looks like one). There is a lot of poor people and loads of chlidren approaching you all the time but even thou they don't have a lot I've never seen happier people. They constantly smile and the children are satsfied playing on the streets. Today we've had a wonder on the markets and bought a few indian style clothing, ear rings and very nice shoes (oh yes had to buy a pair love the shoes). We aslo had breakfast at the famous Leopold (known from the book Shantaram) which also an experience, great service but you do wonder a bit as we had to go through security gates the beeps if ur carrying weapons as there as been some shooting incidents there. But all good, great place :)

Tonight we're taking the bus down to Goa, we were going to take the train but its fully booked and we found out its the easiest and cheapeast way to get to north of Goa where we want to start off. In Goa we're meeting a friend of Johanna from England that she meet in Indosia when she travelled there. He has already been in Goa for a while so will be able to show us around a bit :) Got to packing and get ready to go to our bus which will take 10 hours oh joy but luckily we travel during the night so we can sleep and it has AC :)
