Hello all you beautiful people. I am in Mumbai, India now and having a ball in this crazy place. The flights over from Australia were really good because I slept on the plane to Singapore and then had 3 seats to sleep on from Singapore to Mumbai. That means NO jet lag and plenty of energy for some sight seeing.

The bus trip to the Hotel Ambassador was interesting. Drivers here love their horns and get close enough to each other that you could reach over and pinch someone on the cheek!

There are heaps of different forms of transport. You can take a luxury cab like this.

Something a bit more adventurous like this,

Or why not go for something traditional like this...

We were greeted at the Hotel by a lovely man in a turban.

My room is pretty quaint with a mezzanine bedroom and a view of the ocean, if you can see past the grime on the windows.

We are here to perform for the Mumbai Festival, which is now into it's 3rd year. Our venue is in front of the Gateway to India.

Spent most of the day walking around and checking out the city. This is the Municipal Town Hall.

Also saw this great ambulance that looked like something the A-team would have driven. It was funky.

Checked out a few markets.
