I am ashamed to say that despite the fact I can see the sea from my sofa, that in the seven weeks I have been living in Mumbai, I had not been down to the 'sea-side'. Not the sea-side as us Brits would know it but as about as good as it's going to get in Mumbai. So this afternoon, despite it being a humid and slightly overcast day, Mr Jules and I took the 10 minute walk over to Carter Road for a Sunday Promenade. Here are the images:
 |
| It doesn't matter who you are or what you do or do not possess...the sea belongs to everyone....including these homeless kids |
 |
| ...and this dog |
 |
| A meeting place for groups of teenagers |
 |
| The 'beach-front' apartments in the background still being developed in droves |
 |
| By the sea this small area of green is being used to dry things (I say 'things' as I have no idea what these are!) |
 |
| Children's facilities are great - but in a city of 16 million people, I am amazed to see only a handful of parents with their kids playing here. Perhaps it's too humid to embrace the outdoors today.... |
 |
| Save for the rubbish everywhere, this is almost a picturesque scene. |
 |
| A makeshift fishing village |
 |
| There is always beauty to be found in amongst the squalor |
 |
| More open air laundering...not overly convinced that this is the way to get 'whiter whites'! |
 |
| PEACE IS THE REAL MUSCLE |
 |
| We rounded off our promenade, with a lovely cappucino and cookie at Costa on Carter Road overlooking the sea. |
lovely!
