Síle & Bruce’s Travel Blog

Today has been total and utter MADNESS!! We got up early and headed to the train station to get our train ticketd to Goa (we’re leaving this evening - 13hrs on an Indian train should be interesting!) which proved to be much easier than we thought. With this false confindence we headed to Crawford Market … error! It was sseriously stressful, we were told that we had to have a ”tour guide” to have a peek around, so not really knowing if we were being onned or not we decided to shoot off. We took a walk around and discovered some awesome little markets, and onced we’d relaxed, realle enjoyed the city. Once we got back to our neck of the woods we decided just to sit and ‘people watch’ arounf the Gateway to India, having sat down on a step (about a foot away from human poo!) some India people came up and asked if we’d have our photo taken with them; this had happened a bit in Indonesia so we didn’t think much of it. Once we had done it for one person however, lots more people asked and it ended up with around 10-15 people with their cameras out shouting for us to have a snap with them! Bruce got the sweats pretty quickly so we made a speedy exit - phew!

On our way to get a Coke we again heard someone shoutting “sir, sir!” we turned around and started to chat. It turns out that this guy was from a Bollywood Studio and looking for extras in a film being shot tomorrow! We’d heard that westeners sometimes get asked. BUT we can’t do it! We’ve booked our train tickets to leave this evening, it’s a shame as that would’ve been one to tell the grandkids!

Anyway, we’re just killing time before our train leaves, maybe we’ll catch another curry (this one’s for you Sarah)

We love you all
