Fai Tira Blog Bombay or Mumbai

Just a few pictures of this bustling city. 

As we approched Bombay we saw high-rise buildings.  This was a bit of a shock but eventually, as we got closer, we were greeted with some historic structures.



This is the Gateway to India, built to comemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary in 1921.  This is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors.



The Taj Mahal hotel is a majestic building.  It featured in the news in 2008 when it was under siege by terrorists.for three days before the Indian army killed them all.



We walked down the street and saw various sights that you wouldn't see in Euroeian cities, cows being one of them.



One of the most famous landmarks in Bombay is the Victoia Railway Terminus.  This is a world heritage building.  Thousands of people pass through each day.

The Leopold bar and cafe where we spent quite a bit of time.



Crawford market. This guy helped us find things.
