Fishing Village in Mumbai

In Mumbai, we stayed at a place called Madh Island.  It is not really an island, but is a peninsula.  Erangal village is one of the villages in Madh Island.  Here are some pictures taken at Erangal village:

Big home - lots of TV shows and movies are shot here

There is another small village hat we walked through every day on our way to the jetty (ferry to take us across the water).  Here are some pictures from this village:

As we walk through the village, here are some photos of where we stayed.  These are the only big buildings in Madh Island, and some are still under construction.

After a walk through the above village on our way to town, we would arrive at the jetty.  Here are some pictures of the ferry that would take us across to an area called Versova.

After the ferry ride from Madh Island we would arrive at Versova, and then take the rickshaw to other nice areas like Bandra or Juhu Beach.  Here are some pictures from Versova.

No rickshaw available in Versova so we walked on the street - right into a wedding!
