Super Saturday

Super Saturday started off with a romantic touch at breakfast:

and ended with a romantic touch at dinner:

In between we went to the Western India Automobile Association to arrange our vehicle insurance and to the train station to book our tickets to Goa. The train station is housed in a fantastic building as is the Post Office which we visited later:

Opposite the Post Office was what appeared to be a pigeon sanctuary, a very ornate structure covered, unavoidably I suppose, in pigeon droppings. And here they are (the pigeons, not the droppings – although I’m sure the more observant viewer will pick those out too). Click the picture to see the video:

Later in the day we were treated to an impromptu street performance, reminded me of Covent Garden. Click the picture to see the video:

Then in a quiet moment I developed a working draft of the Mumbai horn algorithm:

But the highlight of the day was dinner at the Radio Club. I could wax lyrical about the setting and the faded grandeur but I’ll save you that. The reality is that the members and staff create a great atmosphere  – the members are from old Bombay families and professions and the staff are attentive and professional (and took great care of us). We ate well and listened to Zend as he spoke about his family and his bakery. A very special evening.
