WHAT WE DID TODAY:
Up same time, 7:30, as that is when they bring Rebecca's room service. I went to coffee connection and got a fresh cup of "coffee Americano" made by Elvis. Also grabbed a chocolate chip muffin, my favorite.
My tour for today, "Highlights of Mumbai", departed at 8:30 and is the same tour we took back in 2013. I will let the captions on my photos tell you about what I saw. I also had an arterial motive for doing the tour again. I wanted to go to a pharmacy! At about every stop that is what I did, go find a pharmacy. I went to four of them. Why?? Rebecca uses Nasonex, a nose spray, for her allergies. In the US after insurance pays, she pays $125 per small spray bottle. I bought 8 bottles today (cleaned out all 4 pharmacies) at $7 each. So I saved nearly $1000 today.
There were a couple interesting and funny remarks our guide made. First as we passed by a horse race track, she said they had races very Sunday. Then she said there was a restaurant there called "Gallops". Then she said they couldn't call it "the runs". Secondly, she said only 1/3 of the apartments have their own toilets BUT 2/3's of the people have cell phones and all have satellite tv.
Well, my photos uploaded pretty fast this afternoon so here is the link to them. I've explained how to view the link on several previous postings so won't go through it here.

Ok, it is now 4:00 pm and we sail at 5:00 for our next port, Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates. Yes, we are finally leaving India. Don't care if I ever come here again. Love the nice people but that is about it!! The next two days we will be crossing the Arabian Sea. Hope it continues to be smooth sailing.
Rebecca is taking a cat nap so I will go up and watch the sail out before getting ready for cocktail hour and dinner. Production show tonight so NOT going again. We used to go to everyone of them when the Jean Ann Ryan company was performing for Regent. In fact we were on front row every night.
