Day 21 Mumbai George on his own!

It could have been a combination of too much dancing and heat, (I did not have even 1 drink , I swear), but I think it was the large sea swell overnight which caused me to feel not too well this morning. So I decided not to go on the tour. Marg and Roy took care of George!! He said it was very  very good. Seeing the large communal outdoor laundry was amazing. They pride themselves in not losing a single item. He went to Ghandi's house, he wasn't home. He met a very friendly armed soldier, the automatic machine was there to protect us! Visited the Gateway to India and the Taj Mahal hotel then back to the ship with some duty free, not decanting as not problem getting booze on board. We had lunch and as I was feeling a bit better, Marg and Roy came with us to the terminal where some small stalls sold some stuff. George was the alcohol mule for Roy and Marg and did some browsing.
While I was having a coffee in the morning, I overheard,(it was loud) some American absolutely blasting the hell out of the Aussies onboard. They were appalled at the dress standards of the Aussies, it didn't match the gold encrusted jewel dress of this American lady and she said the Kiwis were even worse. They went on and on and I did not feel up to having a go, thanks goodness George and Roy were not there. I spent an hour or so in laundry and met the lovliest people from New York, who were having a great cruise and just loved the Australian laid back attitude. Yes I survived the laundry and no fights!!
