With a train ride booked out at 1500 we only had the morning to do some more Mumbai sightseeing. We chose the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum, formerly Prince of Wales Museum of Western India. It was an interesting an impressive museum with a good audio guide though curators back home would have a coronary over the conditions that the collections are housed in.
After stopping by for some essential supplies-water, fruit and Indian sweets- we headed back to our hotel to pick up our luggage. Our drive from the hotel to the station was crazy. We had underestimated how far it was from our station but our driver was determined to get us to our train on time. We weaved in and out of traffic, overtaking at speed, cutting in front of trucks and rickshaws. It was all very unnerving but we made our train.
After a kilometer long walk up the platform we settled into our coach for our overnight ride to Jodhpur.
