The next day we leave earlier to catch our flight down to Mumbai. We see the high-rise buildings of the city, fisherman's villages, statues, and old buildings. We get out for lunch at Cafe Leopold, the first cafe and renowned site for the terror attack in 2008. We visit the public laundry, which is a massive operation for doing the laundry for many city residents. We also explore the Gateway of India, Gandhi's museum, and the Victoria railway. We also visit the hallways of the Taj Palace Hotel. This hotel was built in 1903 as India's first luxury hotel that WOULD accept whatever poor may want to enter. We drive into the city to get a quick feel for the city before transferring to the Trident hotel for a brief stay before heading to the airport around 11. Here we rest up, enjoy dinner at the hotel, and sleep a bit before packing it all up to head to the airport.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
