Mumbai - India

Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is the epitome of lux in Mumbai. The architecture and interior design is thick with quality and history - unfortunately also the focal point of a 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai that killed 166 people.

We walked and taxied to the laundry vats, saw the lunchbox dabbawallas distribute hot lunch from homes to office desks by bicycle and train to over 200,000 workers every day, watched in amazement as a young girl tightrope walked in flip flops above a side street as her mother looked on, visited the home where Gandhi lived and launched civil disobedience against the British, visited the Gateway of India at the waterfront and had a last beer in India at the Leopoldo Cafe.
