The bridge which the car crossed..to North portion of Mumbai
One of the many slums in Mumbai
We had the opportunity to visit a shopping centre, named Central, and there was where we had our lunch. A very big shopping centre in fact, but there weren't many pple...I actually wanted to buy a Mac meal to eat that day. but the waiter told me..."Sorry..we only have fish burger. No drink, no fries. we can give you mineral water"..I was stunned! while trying to make sense of his English+Hindi etc..and so I left..buying a KFC meal instead..
Before going to this mall, the driver brought us to Sanjay Gandhi National Park where in fact, we should visit the Kanheri caves. but the sad thing is the caves were closed that day. So off we went, to our next destination. Intially we wanted to take a pic with this Bollywood signboard, that showed some of the actors..just to show that we've been there..but sadly, another bad incident happened again..our car went straight thru the gate without any security guard stopping us and we were faced with troubles trying to get out of that place..until we've paid a "fine"..being the ignorant us..oblivious to all these..we paid a sum...left that place..and am glad that all of us were safe from danger..it was treacherous..too dangerous in fact as I recalled...
We also went to Mount Mary and Chowpatty Beach to take some pictures before meeting up with Amin again..

Mount Mary
Amin was apologetic and we were saddened to know what happened to his car as well.. but we were glad to meet him up as he brought us to Haji Ali Mosque, a place where people arrive to pray becuz of faith. regardless of religions, regardless of who you are, you are free to visit this place, to pray, to seek help, and search for peace.It was of Indian Islamic architecture. The crowd was huge on that hot hot day...it was nice to see the various religions, various cultures, the people from all parts of India coming together..and seeking solitude and peace in their heart.

In the evening, we went to Marine Drive, to see the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen in my life. I'll let the pictures do the talking...It was an amazing sunset..and I'm glad we caught it!
