Around the World in 365 Days

Ahmedabad, Day 73 & 74

After leaving Mumbai I stopped in the city of Ahmedabad before heading to Udaipur. Ahmedabad is a very not touristy and busy city, I arrived on the weekend so the streets were so packed it was difficult to walk around at times.

While in Mumbai I took a day trip to Elephanta Island, it is a small island about a 1 hour boat ride from Mumbai with many cave temples.

Mumbai, Day 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 70, 71 & 72

From Rome, Italy I took a flight to Mumbai, India. This was a huge change from anything I have experienced before since I have spent all of my vacations somewhere in Europe. The first day I have listed was a travel day to fly over to India. The next 3 days I spent just relaxing at my hotel, I was tired from the 2 months in Europe, the plane flight and the temperature change from 50 F in Italy to 90 F in India.

There is much more about India that does not come through in these pictures but I would need to write pages on everything to try to describe it and you really have to come here anyway to understand what it is like.

This is my first picture in India,
