Bandra Shopping Day!

Day 7- Bandra Shopping Day - Lisa and Claire in heaven!

Today we ventured to Bandra on the trains all by ourselves as it was our day off (had to change trains twice!) We've had a brilliant day- it was nice to have some time just by ourselves so we were able to go in whatever shops we wanted! We love Mumbai jewellery! Our cases will be full by the time we come home!! Bought some lovely presents for the ladies in our lives! In the afternoon we headed to the Chocolate Coffee Shop called 'Theobroma- Food of the Gods'...it certainly lived up to its name! Lisa had her first latte since getting here- delicious...and we both had the most AMAZING chocolate cheesecake/torte type cakes....tasted like heaven!! (see pictures on facebook!!) We checked out the menu and discovered that they served meals...which included chip buttys, bacon buttys, full english, amazing sandwiches, houmous, and every chocolate cake or brownie you could imagine!!! It was like costa meets thorntons! So we headed back there for our dinner once we'd finished shopping at 6:30pm and had chip and fried egg buttys complete with garlic mayo and tomato ketchup yummmm!!!! (Healthy diet we've got going on here..and people said we would lose weight ;-)!!!!) We've bought some amazing things today- gorgeous clutch bags, bangles, rings, dresses! Definately gonna try and head back there sometime! A lovely girl helped us to find the right platforms on the way back to Panvel- some people are so helpful! Its very confusing finding platforms as everything is in Indian and to find the platform you need to know the initials it appears as on the board! We're getting the hang of it though- you should all be very proud!!! It doesnt help when people push and shove each other everywhere including on and off the trains! We've taken some pictures of the inside of the trains today so you'll have to check them out on facebook! The pic on here is of us on one of the rickshaws! Heading back to the office tomorrow to find out what this week has in store for us! Hopefully we'll be heading to the children's shelters- we cant wait to do some activities and games with the kids! Ended a great day with brilliant news- Julies Sandwich Shop has reopened in Cockermouth- now we definately cant wait to get home!! haha!!

Missing you all but having a blast!
Love Lisa and Claire xxxx
