Saturday 21st

We arrived at Mumbai at about 11.30, and were collected by an assistant who took us to the bus stop for the coach that takes you to the Domestic Terminal. First thing we had to do was collect our hold baggage and pass through customs. After clearing customs any duty free liquids have to be put in the hold baggage for the internal flight. On the way to the coach stop we passed a Kingfisher baggage drop but it was unattended so we had to take all the bags to the domestic terminal. On the way through the International Terminal we changed £20 to get some rupees for the inevitable tipping.
On arrival at the domestic terminal, the second stop is the Kingfisher section and we checked our bags in there and made our way through security to await the flight. The leaving gate was not the one on the boarding card, we find it is well worth keep checking that things are right and keep someone you know who is traveling to the same destination in view.
We arrived safely at Dabolim to be met by our taxi driver and then on to Calangute.
We dumped our bags and headed to Pranimas bar to meet up with the rest of the gang. After a couple of drinks we left for the Snow Inn to have a lightish meal before bed.
