Arriving at the hotel in Mumbai

 (Sorry for the delay in posts. We had to pay for the internet at the last hotel. This hotel it is free. I will also be posting lots and lots of pictures tomorrow. Just as long as I can figure out my Microsoft Surface. )

As we approached, the hotel I noticed that our hotel was one of the tallest buildings on this part of Mumbai.  Which kind of made me feel a little guilty because as we drove up to the hotel we passed numerous slums where people were struggling to eat.

Before we entered the hotel, we had to go through security which involved a metal detector, body wand, and our bags being checked.  I also noticed that our hotel was surrounded by a fence and gate.  When we entered the hotel we were greeted with Namaste. They also put red paint on our foreheads for a Bindi and apple juice. We were all so excited! The hotel was beautiful! We then went up to our rooms and waited for our bags to be brought up to our rooms.

 

When we got up to our room my roommate Mindy and I were very confused with the bathroom.  There was glass in the bathroom as if it was a window to the bedroom. We finally figured out there was a shade to lower and raise. Crazy!
