The rest of our trip involved a trip to Elephanta Island in which we climbed 100 stone steps filled with market sellers to view ancient caves carved into the mountainside. You could actually pay Indians around 3 quid and 4 would carry you up in a wooden chair!! At the top we got to feed the many monkeys gathered around the caves. We also went to the cinema to take in our first Bollywood picture, rather good actually. The seats fully reclined and the snacks offered were pretty good as well. We were rather confused when the national anthem came on and Indians stood. The 9th was Diwali (The Indian Xmas) today we were to fly to Bangalore to stay with friends parents, we took off to a sea of fireworks, pretty amazing.
