After Kanha, we headed back to Jabalpur by car (Wendy was feeling better, we just didn’t feel like a long bus drive) and took the train to Bombay (Mumbai). It was the longest train ride we took, but it was comfortable.  The train station is beautiful, too – an old building that from the outside looked more like a museum or cathedral than a train station.

We went to see the Gateway of India (arch built to commemorate the visit of King George and Queen Mary) and then did some shopping – the knock-off ‘government stores’ were particularly good. Really cheap jewelry and crafts at a good quality.  Then we wandered down Marine Drive (road by the ocean with a wide SIDEWALK! you can WALK ON!!! With no COWS?!!!) 

At night, we visited Marine Drive.

We ended the evening with a great dinner at Indian Summer, just off of Marine Drive.  The food was great, if a little pricy, and the restaurant was clean. 

We were in Bombay/Mumbai for just a short time but we really enjoyed it.
