Papers for the bike and a quick trip around the City


We sat with Aubrey for about 3 hrs doing paper work and making copies of this and that. He will be coming to the cargo department with us to get the bike through customs.   I had thought of doing this myself like in Ireland but I have heard so many horror stories about this country I decided a bit of help would be in order.

Public transport no windows no doors, so it is air conditioned
After our time with Aubrey we decided to venture further into town to see the Gateway to India and get something to eat. Back into a cab for ten minutes and we are dropped off by a small restaurant that had been suggested to us but standing out side we quickly lost our appetite and decided to continue walking hoping something around the corner might appeal to us more. Well ten minutes later found us sitting in Macdonald's crunching on a Mac chicken burger and fries along with a Pepsi sometimes it is just good to recognize something from home and hang out for a while, too tired to find some good Indian food today.


  
Kids everywhere
This guy was being chased off by the police
I guess he hadn't paid his baksheesh today


After an hour or so walking the street the time change hit hard so into a cab and back to the hotel where we crashed for the night not letting the constant noise of the city stop us from our well deserved slumber

The people working cleaning up have a huge job as no one here even knows how to use a garbage can .As quick as they sweep an area they just have to go back and start again.
