Seafarers ho !

One trip not to be missed in Mumbai, as I recently realized, is taking a boat trip off the Gateway. The trip costs 40 bucks and gives an awesome tour of the harbor. Particularly worth taking in the evening after dark, as I did - the harbor is beautifully lit up with huge ships and giant cranes all over - the roller-coaster-type ride, the bobbing bouys, the shipping boats, the glittering Mumbai coastline... its awesome.
