Day 5: Preparing for travel

Hi! Today we wanted to get things sorted to do some travelling through India. So we went to pick up some laundry for Remy and Thijs. On our way we visited a small but nice vegetable and fish market. The trousers that we picked up at the laundry shop were impressively clean.Next we went to get some train tickets. After waiting in line for a long time we found that on Sunday there were only 2 tourist quota tickets available. Now we will be travelling on Monday. We are going to Ahmedabad in Gujurat and travel onwards from there, maybe to Jodhpur.


Once we got the train tickets sorted we went for a walk along Marine Drive to Chowpatty Beach, where many people were enjoying Republic day. Republic day is a national holiday to celebrate the Republic. It does not seem to be celebrated elaborately but many people have the day off. After the beach we took a stroll up Malabar Hill were we had a great view of the bay and the city from the hanging gardens. After a quick dinner (pani puri and pav bhaji) we visited the TRI continental film festival where we watched “A Jihad for Love”, which I would recommend if you are either muslim or gay or both or like watching movies in general. All in all I had a nice day again. www.ajihadforlove.com
