Day 6 and 7

Our first weekend free in Mumbai was really good. We started by visiting jehangir art gallery, which housed a very interesting modern art exhibition. Afterwards we headed to Bhandra a lively district of the city where young people tend to hang out. We went for lunch at a Bombay Blue, one of Bhandra's most popular eateries. We then shopped around Bhandra market, which was really vibrant and bustling. We bought loads of clothes and did alot of haggling. We returned on the train which was really cheap at only 6 rupees. On Sunday we went to the National Gallery of Modern Art which is currently exhibiting a project called 'Soak' about Mumbai throughout history and its potential in the future with regard to its relationship with the sea and monsoons. Afterwards we met up with two girls from the H.R. College for lunch on Colaba Causeway and went shopping. The shopping at Colaba was more successful than at Bhandra, much better for tourists. It was really nice to have some time free to explore the city and hang out with the college girls who are so lovely.
