Journey to the Great Thar Desert
We arrived in Mumbai, on the night of the bombings, one and a half hours before to be exact. Our hotel, opposite the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel was overbooked, so we were moved to another hotel just in front of the Colaba Markets. We went to the roof top bar ordered a beer and the explosions started. The next morning we managed to get a cab to the airport and got the first flight anywhere north before they shut the airport. We arrived in Udaipur and headed north until things settled down.
