Stayed at Sea Princess, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.

Juhu is quite a way out of Mumbai so this is not a suitable base if you want to spend time living in the heart of the city. It is however an easy (and interesting!) half hour train ride from Santa Cruz in to town. Taxis are reluctant to drive out here "on the meter" so negotiate hard!

Stayed at Express Hotel Baroda - Gujarat - Vadodara (Baroda), India.

Been there for work, not sightseeing. The place called Payal opposite the hotel gives excellent veg food.

Stayed at Midland, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.

Get out of Mumbai as quickly as possible! It's very polluted and expensive by Indian standards. Flew over to Bhavnagar in Gujarat and back to Mumbai from Diu using Indian Airlines and Jet Airlines. Both seemed efficient and friendly. Don't forget to reconfirm even international flights as over-booking is common. Be prepared for long waits at airports due to vigorous security checks. Allow minimum 2 - 2.5 hours when leaving Mumbai.
Local transport in Gujarat very crowded even by Indian standards, poor roads in many places and private buses only to major destinations - all timetables in Gujarati script. Taxis can be hired for long distance trips - just ask around bus station or taxi stands - haggle for a discount. Palitana Jain temples, Sasan Gir Lion Reserve and former Portugese enclave of Diu worth a visit.

Stayed at Suba Palace, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.

Mumbai (Bombay) is a very interesting place with lots to see and do. The hotel is right by the Gateway of India where lots of tours can be taken from. I visited Elephanta caves which is 1 hour away by ferry and really enjoyed but prepare to do some walking up very steep steps and down slopes, oh and watch out for the monkeys who have very canny tactics on how to ambush you for food.
A very busy city full of hustle and lots of noise (especially car horns). A good place to eat which is not far from the hotel is a place called Leopolds, great food and very clean and always busy no matter what time of the day you go. We travelled by taxi which was a good way to get around and not expensive but always ask how much before your journey begins because they don't always use the meter.

Stayed at Suba Palace, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.

I could find myself about what I had to do in Mumbai. I was there for Indian classical music. The papers were quite shy to give list of concerts. The next times I will seach for places from Switzerland on internet.
