Cruiser?

Spotted this cool looking cruiser(?). Sure is a busy waterway!

Barracuda 1

Barracuda 1 was the name of this beauty. I dont know much about boats and ships but loved the look of the beauty anchored in the Arabian sea off Mumbai.

Speed boat

One of the many speedboats that raced past as we motored along gently to the Elephanta caves. Will post all sights that I liked and clicked on the way. :) Hope you enjoy them all the same!

The boat

This is the typical boat that is used to ferry people across people between the Gateway of India and the Elephanta caves. The Elephanta island is located about 13 km away from the Gateway of India at Mumbai. These caves house rock cut temples dating back to the 5th century.

Queue

Holiday makers and tourists on their way to visit Elephanta caves queue up for their ferry ride. There is a ferry which operates to the Elephanta caves every 30minutes and the ride one way is about an hour. The Elephanta caves is a World heritage site. Will take all of you on this tour shortly.

Bird feed

Outside the Gateway of India, this guy sits selling bird feed to passers by who wish to feed the pigeons. Some people do it because their religion demands it and some for the novelty of it and then there are those who do it for the love of birds! The end result is happiness for the birds, feeders and of course the seller!

Hotel Taj

The Taj Palace Hotel in Mumbai opposite the Gateway of India is a landmark and a tourist attraction. Built in 1903, the hotel is an architectural marvel and brings together Moorish, Oriental and Florentine styles. Offering panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the Gateway of India, the hotel is a gracious landmark of the city of Mumbai, showcasing contemporary Indian influences along with beautiful vaulted alabaster ceilings, onyx columns, graceful archways, hand-woven silk carpets, crystal chandeliers, a magnificent art collection, an eclectic collection of furniture, and a dramatic cantilever stairway.
