2-day late post…First official day of the tour. The day begins with a Masala Dosa for breakfast followed by a short walk to the Gateway of India. Then a bus ride with stops including the Flower market, Crawford Market, a train ride and visits to the Dhobi Ghat, World Heritage Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (Formerly Victoria Terminal) and ending at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya - Prince Wales Museum. Took a little afternoon break and it was then off to “High Tea” at the Taj Mahal Hotel. Very posh. Somewhat reminiscent of the Hotel Del in the photo displays of visiting dignitaries. Significantly more upscale in look and feel though. Finished the day off with a quick, small whiskey nightcap, then off to prepack and bed. Have to catch a flight tomorrow to Udaipur
