40 in Mumbai

Well its happened after much anxiety on the run up to it I am officially middle aged and have to start being like the everyone else.

We have come to Mumbai after an amazing Jaipur and really the beginning of the India leg for me.

Emma's birthday treat for me was an amazing luxury with staying in The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower right next to The Gateway to India. It was the hotel that got hit by the terroists in November but most of it is open again and full of people so we stayed a night!!!!! Emma made it an amazing day, lots of surprises and presents and mountains of love. I am too lucky. Here is some pictures.

We checked in at 11am then explored the huge hotel, went to the 19th floor which as it happens is only 1 floor below our room and went to the middle eastern restaurant then to the pool & spa & bar. Drank Italian red wine and went to a great restaurant called Khyber in the evening before collapsing into bed. Bliss!!!!

All of this with both of us trying to get over an head/ear infection & a bad cold set off by our visit to Delhi.
