Arrival

After a very long journey I landed in Mumbai at miday ish. At first I thought there must have been an earhquake that I didn't know about. All I could see was what looked like buildings and rubble piled up on top of each other all around the airport, like the recent images from Haiti. As we almost touched them with our undercarriage I could see that this was the slums. Acres and acres of shanty town, housing thousands of families in buidings, held together with rope, plastic and corugated sheets. From here we were manically tranported across country for another 5 hours until we rerached our resting point for the night. The bike adventure begins tomorrow! In the last 32 hours I have had 4 lentil curries and am sharin a room with strangers..........
