Oh, dear reader. I am totally worn out and so full of impressions that I am about to burst, and I do not know how to compress this one day into one blogpost.
You see - ever since coming to Mumbai- we have usually used the
sea link - this new bridge connecting southern and northern parts of the city - when we are going around in Mumbai. And everytime I have - from my car window - been looking down at the fisherboats, the grey and brow sheds and huts, the goats, the kids playing on the rocks next to the sea. And I was curious. Finally I got to visit it. And it was not quite like I had pictured.
In this area I saw houses in pink, orange, blue and green and temples in bright yellow. I saw a statue of Virgin Mary dressed in a pink sari and fisherboats in all the colours possible. Fruit, vegetable and flower sellers were all around, we saw parrots, the fishermen cleaning their nets and a saxophon player turned up from nowhere.

When I close my eyes and think about this tour, the first thing that comes to my mind is the bright smiles of the ladies we met, and - without really wanting it - the activity, smell and atmosphere from the local fish-market. So, dear reader- I will get back with more tales from this tour, but let me show you a few highlights from this day at Worli fishing village.

So, dear reader. Stay tuned for more tales from Mumbai, and have a lovely Saturday everyone!
