Mumbai Goodbye

From Goa, we got on the train one more time for a trip up the coastline, drinking sweet chai from the chai wallahs all the way. We arrived at CST, formerly known as Victoria station, and walked the 3 blocks to our tall and skinny hotel. We only had two days in Mumbai, not enough time to tackle the city properly, and so we decided to leave it largely for another trip. Instead we walked the neighborhoods around our hotel, enjoyed the big beautiful buildings, sent postcards, bought gifts, ate good food, and did our best to enjoy the last moments of our trip together.

Getting to the airport for our 11pm flight was only supposed to take an hour and a half... it took us nearly 3 hours in hellacious traffic, and we arrived to long security lines and the sinking feeling that we'd miss our flight. One last close-call border crossing, which in retrospect seems appropriate. Needless to say, we made it.
