Out of the hotel, the Sun is shining.
This will find our hotel in a very lively streets, restaurants, bars and shops are concentrated here, restaurant and lounge rooms, shops are very small (we in India, almost did not see any shopping mall or supermarket, it is said that at present the whole India in New Delhi has a large shopping centre), but also very clean and tidy. Two metres to wide sidewalk, many sell souvenirs and handicrafts of little India, many Western tourists and backpackers in bargaining, then hurried row road, was very busy on the sidewalk.Go left row, turn a bend, Avenue on both sides are big Western-style building, and pretty clean, apparently often some maintenance, and Calcutta Street building in sharp contrast, seems to be a heaven and an underground.
The road is flat, 100 more meters tree-lined asphalt, draws you into the sea. The beach is a mixture of India culture and Persian cultural characteristics of the India gate, looks like Paris Arc de Triomphe architecture, to commemorate the visit of King George v and Queen, built in 1911. Mumbai is the most important ports in India is India's foreign trade in the main ports, from the port up across India, even into India, therefore, the India gate symbolizes the India Portal. Now, it is the landmark architecture in Mumbai. Last year (2003) August India occurred more than 50 people killed 160 people were injured in the explosion happened here, when we arrived had absolutely no bombings leave any marks. India gate near the many pigeons foraging on the ground, as many tourists photo background. Hawkers selling souvenirs and flower children, women will from time to time to bother tourists. However, there is nothing worth buying souvenirs. India gate opposite is a luxurious five-star hotel, to India's most famous Taj Mahal naming, called Tai Ji Ma Khar hotels, this hotel is a big, powerful, the outer wall is pure white carved stone materials, beautiful to almost all the visitors will take her background as a camera. Although our hotel and the beautiful hotel is only 100 meters away, but here the cheapest room also to 250 dollars a day, of course, if you can live here, looking pretty Bombay Beach, must be very comfortable.Go to the Elephant Island (also known as God like Island) to take a quick one-hour ferry, we spend 100 rupees, out to sea.
Mumbai Harbour is India's west coast of the Arabian Sea port, is India's most important military port.
Our boat had just pulled out of the dock, you can see the edge of the naval port terminal dock four or five boats grey blue of warships, submarines, exposing the Tower will be the majority of men. Just going with the camera, the ship's waitress stopped, he pointed to the bow direction with red paint and write in a bulletin board, told us that the ship is not allowed to take photos. I looked at the Bulletin Board, copying a by the Navy, customs and Police Department issued an order prohibiting tourists taking photos on the boat, I came to the military. I think that came back, be sure to shoot several sheets, home to the likes of military friends to see, then, under the cover of the companion.Elephant Island's main attractions is the one in 6-9 century sinking of grottoes, caves and the group is based on Hindu legends and figures for the background, in Islam, the popularity of the Mughal dynasty era and the United Kingdom the invasion is heavily damaged, it is said that these stone figures, have been United Kingdom as guns target, so to see caves are incomplete.
Because the domestic Dragon, Yungang Grottoes and lay the foundation of the Grotto for us, it is not very attractive, but some Western tourists constantly lit flashlight, I think they should have gone to China's Grotto heritage.The island did not see the elephant, I do not know why the Elephant Island named (later read information to know that there is a grotto ago juxiang carving, was moved to the City Museum of Victoria Gardens), but many of the island of wild monkeys, soliciting food visitors dropped food.
Because, just catch the Chinese year of the Festival, and some from Taiwan's Chinese people feel special. But we are here is because these monkeys that had real trouble.The Elephant Island, we must get tough in, even if the rest of the time and do not leave the body, or else those monkeys curiosity but people than India.
Our Lady, the rest is his own mineral water on the side, a monkey to come from behind, just found that Ms. tried to stop, be it, took a bite. Since last year, China had just caught on SARS, is this wild animal bite, a kind of fear, not know this wildlife will bring about SARS, AIDS or what crazy monkey diseases, the first thing that comes to mind is to understand it immediately. Fortunately, our tour has ended, immediately take the ferry to return to the port of Bombay. In the ship, a United States tourists come with interest, and to tell us not to India hospital injection, where conditions are poor, the needle is not a one-off, suggested we go to the Tai Ji Ma Khar hotels, India's five-star hotel in general have a professional doctor and clinic. We certainly do not want our companions try India people used needles, disembarkation to go straight to the beautiful luxury hotel.This hotel really extraordinary, not only look very beautiful, the lobby is splendid, service personnel man than a handsome straight, female, everyone is as jades (Brown, nor is there) of beauty, just because we have something urgent in the body, no mind to appreciate, even photos that you want to shoot.
Because we are not a hotel guest, beautiful female reception receptionist said we can only go to a nearby hospital for treatment, repeatedly request, she says you can only find the duty manager. Duty manager is a handsome young man, I heard someone was Monkey Bites, immediately and personally led us to the clinic, tell the doctor that had a visitor needs his help in Japan. In India, we often mistaken for Japan, we always take itsAnnoying to be correct, but this time, we do not have much of a hurry to do so. The doctor is a woman, very kind and understanding of the circumstances, prevention of disease in wild mammals they understand it (like rabies have), and personally to our partner the injection, and carefully wrote down after the date you want to have an injection on a regular basis (a total of 6-pin). And then goes on to say that a lot of comfort, that annually some tourists are Monkey Bites, no cases of illness, we slightly comforting, but we all know that such a disease like rabies, the incubation period may be up to 10 years or even decades. Checkout, 500 rupee, and description of the physicians, we are from China. Anyway, although we have even done a most secure handling and feel the servant of God-like service, but I think that in the future, if you have people to Mumbai to Elephant Island, where possible and monkeys maintain a safe distance.
