Ahoy India

We have just recently arrived in India. As we were leaving Sri Lanka the airline gave us the option to stay an extra night on them in exchange for free tickets or duty free vouchers. The flight was overbooked and they needed some folks to sit out. Being the kindhearted and selfless people that we are, we took them up on their offer and spent the night at a five-star and left this morning for Bombay. We got handed a twisty route that took us through the Indian domestic flight alley, but it was alright in the end and a few hours ago we landed here in Bombay, aka Mumbai. Take the confusion of Colombo, multiply by a few, and swap the Sri Lankans for Indians and you have Bombay. Oh yeah, and throw in a few elephants and holy cows. We haven't seen much of the city so far, but what we have seen is pretty crazy. We checked in to our hotel and while it looked spiffy on the Internet, it is many things but not spiffy. We are there for two nights before catching the train out east, so it will have to do.

That's the latest for now. More to come soon.
