i took a flight in April from Goa and was excited to see the city that never sleeps . i stayed at my sis house, the weather in Mumbai was little warm during the day but it got pleasant as evening drew closer. My three day trip began the minute i landed at what is probably India's most busy airport.

Eating Through The Beginning

My day began with treats from a variety of the famous street food in Mumbai starting with vadapav and grilled sandwiches. first we made our way to south Mumbai we travel-led on the beautiful and modern worli sea link. our car shot through on the smooth straight roads offering us a mesmerising view of the either side of us one across the sea link we were at marine drive a 4.0 or 4.7 kilometers long boulevard in south Mumbai.this natural bay is a c shaped road along the coast it looks like a queen necklace as the streetlights resemble a string of pearls in a necklace when viewed at night from an elevated spot-anywhere along tee drive. we stayed there until evening munching on the roadside snacks. later we made our way to the gateway of India the most famous monument in Mumbai which was built during the British rule. it was the place where the viceroys and governors used to land upon their arrival in India. the cold breeze amazing view and beautiful scenery made our day. we also reserved a table at the Taj mahal palace hotel for dinner at the one of the most famous European restaurants. it offered delicious fine dining menu and an exceptional wine cellar, ideal for special occasions and celebrations.

Fun And Games

Next, we visited the newly opened theme based adventure park, adlabs Imagica, located 2-3 hours away on the Mumbai- Pune Expressway. we spent a completely fun-filled day at the amusement park. it was based on different continents,with themes such as viva Europe Arabia Indian etc..

with various eateries throughout the park, we ate at the red bonnet american diner. they served delicious american food that energized us enough for us to continue enjoying ourselves. i would recommend buying an express ticket to skip the long queues and save time with the water rides being the best of all the rides.

juhu beach

Early the next morning, we visited the famous Juhu Beach, Juhu is among the most affluent areas of the city and home to many Bollywood celebrities. the food court at the main entrance serves Mumbai style street food, notably bhelpuri pani puri and sevpuri. we enjoyed ourselves at the beach for a few hours and came back home to get ready, then visiting the local market Bandra for some street shopping, where i picked up some artificial jewelry for my mother and sister. Then traveled towards Phoenix mall which was home to several high which was home to several high end shopping outlets under one roof.

Finally, we visited the bandstand promenade,where we saw the mount Mary church and walked down the kilometer long walkway along the sea in Bandra. the path featured about six statues of famous Bollywood actor as well as about 100 brass plates embossed with the hand prints and signatures of other stars. the place was utterly peaceful, ending our holiday on a good note
