Mumbai
Today we have an early start. We leave the hotel at dawn for an early morning tour of this bustling metropolis. We head to a nearby fishing village to catch the fishing boats arrive in time for the sale of some of the freshest fish in the city. Later we head to the fruit, vegetable and flower market and travel through the city on an orientation tour of some of the city’s iconic colonial architecture. We return to the hotel for a late breakfast and for some much deserved R&R. Late afternoon, we venture out to explore Dhobi Ghat, thought to be the biggest open air laundry in the world.
