Days 11 - 12 in Mumbai, India

We arrived in Mumbai in the evening and checked into our hotel.  The group met at 0800 the following morning and got our scavenge booklets.  We had until 8:00 p.m. the following evening to accomplish what we could.  Here's some of what Team Weathehekawi did... (not necessarily in this order)...

 Rode in a Mumbai taxi

Visited Elephanta Island to see the Trimurti


Tasted 3 different Indian sweets


Had a drink at the Dome Bar on top of the Intercontinental Hotel


Attended a local cricket match and had a young boy teach us how to play


Visited the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum (aka The Prince of Wales Museum)


Saw the Gateway of India


Located the Mumbai house that is "the highest-priced residence in the world"



Explored the Hanging Gardens



Took a tour of the Dharavi Slum... home to 10 million of India's poorest people
