Mumbai

We've arrived! The flight was fine but the drive from the airport to the hotel was interesting to say the least. It's a bit of a culture shock, I'm not sure anyone here needs to pass a driving test or there's any rules of the road!

We're going to chill out for a bit before we venture out.

----------------------------------------

So we ventured out and came back very dirty. We had someone to show us round which was a good thing in the end. He just took us into the thick of things, no one has right of way pedestrians or drivers and horns are constantly being beeped at you.

He took to his home to see how they live, which consisted of 3 rooms, a hall where we assume they slept, a kitchen and a bathroom. We met his family and chatted a bit about life in Mumbai.

We finished the night with a meal in what's probably considered a posh restaurant by indian standards but it was the closest restaurant to the hotel and after walking a few miles sit was the easiest option.

We're currently having a room service breakfast, not really what we expecting. I'm not sure if we just didn't get up in time and they were sick of waiting for us to come down and called our room or if its the norm.

We're going to form a plan for today and get moving, ill update you all later with day 2.

As a side note anyone got any advice on a dentist, I broke a filling yesterday and I'm not sure what to do. It's not sore but I've got a hole in my tooth which I don't thinking should leave. Any suggestions?
