On our first day in Mumbai we took a Virtuoso Tour. Virtuoso is a conglomerate of travel agents and so we along with some other passengers were treated to a special tour which included many popular sites along with a fantastic lunch at Ziva, the Oberoi Hotel's signature restaurant. Other posts will tell about what we did on this all day tour.

| This cow has an owner who brought him to this site for the day where he remains tethered to the fence. Cows are revered and everywhere |
