ok,well, we just landed in the heart of Mumbai after a saga of searching for our hotel, so pls take that into consideration when I say that the transition from 64 Yogini temple-- located in the middle of paddy fields and surrounded by a small village--to Central Mumbai, has hardly been smooth.
Granted, our flight from Bhubaneswar was uneventful, so we had that to be thankful for. Maybe it was the three hour oddesy (sp?) from the airport to our hotel (the YMCA, of all places...) that just slightly put a dent in our mood! And the poor taxi driver in our classic yellow and black taxi finally actually GAVE UP finding the Y, after repeated directions on the phone to the Y. We ended up parked right in front of the fish market (we landed around 5:20pm, it was now nearing 8:00), he turned the engine off, and gave up (I didn't blame him -- I would have given up about two hours earlier!).
Finally , in desperation, I asked a nice looking couple if they knew where it was...and indeed they could direct us finally...
oops, gotta get off the computer, someone's waiting...wish us luck...Kali Yug embodied...but maybe a night's rest will reveal other things
