Day 10: Bombay Bound (then Nagpur)

Mumbai Airport

Today we head out for Bombay (Mumbai) airport. We're being driven the 147 kilometres by the generous Siddharth. It is a scenic road in places.
From there, it is a one hour, 779 kilometre flight to Dr Ambedkar Airport, Nagpur, central India.
We will be in the hottest part of India.
NM and NS live in a flat in Nagpur, so we are staying there for a few days.
3.45pm We are now waiting for the 16.40  flight to Nagpur. The drive over was pretty smooth in Siddharth's flashy car. Mumbai itself is frighteningly large and chaotic. We paid a short visit to one of Mumbai's many centres - a small outdoor one.

We got into the flat at Nagpur by 8.30 pm. We were whacked but no, the plan was to go in to town and have a meal at a restaurant - all kindly paid for by NM's nephew. I was pretty grumpy about this as I just wanted to scoff something quick and retire early. I later felt bad about this, as it was a nice meal and offered in generosity. I later apologised for being self-centred and not thinking about others.
It was 11.45 before we got to bed.
