Day 243, Mumbai, India

Watching the sunset at the beach 

We didn't get to bed until about 2.30, which was 4.00 am Thailand time for me and 8.00 am for Shanna. She especially was tired; I was talking to her about something and nek minute...asleep.

We got up at a reasonable hour though and after breakfast met up with Shanna's best friend's brother, who arrived here 3 days ago and we went for a walk to explore the area and beach.

A perfect shot 

After that we really didn't do much except relax. We sat by the pool, had a swim, Shanna made friends with a wee lad who was playing by the pool, we chatted, had a beer and agreed what a tough life this was.

We also had a beauty treatment; Shanna a scrub and wrap and for me a facial. We were in hysterics over the paper undies Shanna had to wear, they looked like the paper booties that doctors and nurses wear in the operating room! I wish I had my camera then.

Mattie & Shanna Juhu beach

We did enjoy the pampering though, it was so relaxing.

Next we got back to the poolside, from where we sat and watched a stunning sun set into the Indian Ocean. The beach was so busy, all locals, and all just standing around, only a few stretch out on the sand or go for an actual walk; they just stand there.

We cheated and had room service tonight, and as I am writing this Shanna Banana has fallen asleep again, but that's all good, she'll be ready for some sightseeing tomorrow, to see some more on Mumbai.
