Hi All
Has been just about a week in India and finding my feet......doing a lot of walking some times in circles.. The smells of all the food is amazing....Am now addicted to the street chai..The people are wonderful and mostly very helpful. Not to hot and quiet manageable 22 to 26 thats why I came to Mumbai first..what I have seen people seem quiet compassionate towards the street dogs and cats. Have been asked quiet a few times to buy some pot maybe I look like I smoke it or look like I need it '''on the main busy street paid a lady bout 1 cent to feed her cow some grass and ball things..locals do it also of course suppose be od luck as cows are sacred...no the traffic stops for a bull wondering through the busy traffic on a main road.Bit careful with the food to being with but eating vegetarian wraps n rice, lots of good options with greens....
Finding places from the lonely planet book has been so cool..Still adjusting and over did it abit in the beginning. But learning to sleep with lot more noise around...the continuous beeping of car horns, the traffic is just crazy but seems to work with such a large population.
Heading to Goa early evening tomorrow will be nice to see another place not in the city..And are there for two months as have a dog rescue centre and monkey rescue centre there I'm volunteering at both for a month.
Thanks so much everyone for your following and your comments.
