WE TOOK MY FIRST SLEEPER BUS FROM GOA TO BOMBAY LAST NIGHT, A 12 HOUR JOURNEY INTO THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS BUMPING ALONG THE ROCKIEST, ROUGHEST ROADS. CURLED UP IN A TINY CAPSULET LIKE KITTENS, KATIE AND I WOKE TO HARDLY ANYONE LEFT ON THE BUS, NONE OF WHICH COULD SPEAK ENGLISH, HOORAY! WE WERE DUMPED ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDED BY 10 OR SO RICKSHAWS. AFTER SOME ILL COMMUNICATION WE WERE LED TO A TAXI BY A SIBERIAN MONK WHO SPOKE FLUENT HINDI AND LIVES IN THE JUNGLE WITH PANTHERS! ARRIVING BACK AT LISA'S HAVEN NEAR THE TAJ PALACE WE FINALLY CAN REST, WHAT A HOMECOMING! HERE SHE HAND MAKES HER SOON TO BE RELEASED GODDESS RANGE OF NATURAL BODY SCRUBS. MADE FROM ROCK SALTS, APRICOT OIL, COCONUT AND A RANGE OF NATURAL ESSENCES SHE PUTS THE LOVE & SHANTI INTO EACH DELECTABLE JAR. HAND MADE AND SEALED WITH A KISS. FROM HERE WE'RE TAKEN TO THE FOUR SEASONS FOR WHAT BECAME THE MOST INDULGENT AFTERNOON OF OUR LIVES. AFTER LIVING IT UP AS HIPPIES WE MORPHED FROM BOHOS TO LUXING PRINCESSES INFUSING IN OIL MASSAGES, PEPPERMINT MISTED SHOWERS, SAUNAS AND JET SPAS!
DINING ON OYSTERS, PASSIONFRUIT MARTINIS AND DEVILISHLY DELICIOUS CUPCAKES TO FEASTING ON THE FLOOR FED BY OUR FAVOURITE NEPALESE COOK, MOTHER MUMBAI EMBRACES US!
