India Trip

This time we mixed work with leisure and did a whirwind trip of 5 cities and one hill station.We were in Mumbai, Surat, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Saputara.

I attended my cousin's marriage in Kolkata and experienced the city after a couple of decades. It brought back a lot of old memories, like going in the metro and tram and eating Jhaal Muri! We tried the street food including Jhaal Muri and Toast Muri as well as all the Bengali sweets in the marriage.

Then we went to Bengaluru, where we had a great time staying with another cousin. We ate the best south indian food at small restaurants and of course MTR! Surat and Mumbai are the usual suspects where family lives and Delhi was work related.

The highlight was a trip to Saputara which is a hill station on the Maharashtra-Gujarat border and it was a blast with 15+ cousins! We were awake almost all night and had lots of chatting/singing/dancing! We also went to some beautiful spots in Saputara at a Sunset point overlooking the valley where everyone was eating Maggi. We also ziplined in the hills near Saputara.
