Day 5

Mumbai Time: 2000hrs

I woke at 6am. Went for an early breakfast and headed back to my room to write my journal. After lunch, I went to Inorbit Mall in Malad. Bought some bottled waters and had an early dinner at the food court. I took the 3- wheeler back to the hotel and it was so much cheaper! Cost only 75 INR which is about S$3. But of course, it was one hell of a ride. The young driver squeezed his wheeler between buses and worst he didn't even know where Hyatt is!!!! Half-way, he stopped to ask a taxi driver. I told him its in Andheri near the airport but I think he doesn't understand me. I showed him the address of the hotel. Both the taxi driver and him squinted at the address for a few seconds and then exclaimed, “Sahar Airport!”. Yes, that's where it is and I've been trying to tell them that!
