We're in Mumbai. Highlights so far:
Giant Star Wars machines de-icing the planes causing delays.
Lufthansa staffer in Munich living up to the German sterotype by meeting our plane and running us (literally) through the airport to catch our Mumbai flight being held for us.
View of Crater Lake in Kurdistan (or thereabouts) - see above. Lots of the locals there haven't seen it.
Watching a Bollywood bhangra on Lufthansa state of the art in-flight monitor.
Wonderfully disguised security at Mumbai airport.
Prepaid taxi many of you would not have gotten into.
Thrilling ride from airport with driver who knew his karma would not allow him to crash, and who minimized wear and tear on his taxi by never driving on more than two wheels - sometimes one..
Hotel in section of Mumbai that proper terrorists would never visit, let alone expect ransomable tourists to be using. Bombing it would be mistaken for urban renewal.
India bureaucracy alive and well - triplicate form for bottle of water at hotel.
We made the mistake of walking around to the back of the restaurant.
Dana inducted into the Mumbai Red Hat Society.
Your commentary had me laughing out loud. I happily anticipate reading more during your trip!
