Friends Visit Bollywood in Mumbai
About three years ago my husband and I took a vacation with two other couples to India. We all had such an amazing time even though each of us had our own main interest and favorite attraction, landmark or activity. However, the one thing we all agreed on was how great the food was. We all loved it and tried to plan as many full group dinners as possible. This doesn’t seem like it would be easy, since we were all interested in different things, but it was so important to us to spend time together and we loved the food so much we decided it was worth it to plan around.
The city we spent the most time in was Mumbai. We all stayed in one of the Mumbai hotels and love the accommodations. While we were there we mixed dinner and breakfast plans and sometimes we all met for one meal or the other. Lunch was the only meal that we did or own thing on since we were all in various places. My favorite meal had to be North Indian tandoori and though I wanted to try everything, I ordered this regularly. One of the women with us is a vegetarian and all of the places worked out well for her. She had cashew nut with vegetables most of the time, though she too wanted to try as much as she could.
Everyone tried something new and in general we shared our food. My husband loved the kabobs and seafood was popular with most of us. The one thing we all did together in Mumbai occurred on our third day there. We had all had breakfast together and two people, I don’t remember now whom, brought up the local film industry. I didn’t realize this but Mumbai has largest film industry in India. The local industry is referred to as Bollywood and two people from our group brought this up. It sounded incredibly interesting to my husband and me and we all decided to tour the studios that day. Overall, we loved our trip so much and had such a great time that at the end of it we vowed that we would do it again in ten years.
