<p class="dropcap" align="justify">Hiya my loves! I’m so excited to finally write my first travel blog and I decided why not start with the ‘City of Dreams’ in India - <strong>MUMBAI</strong>. I visited Mumbai in Spring, around third week of February. This peninsular city located near <strong>Arabian Sea</strong>, where I am from (Aida Arabian – Arabian Sea, get it?) is the financial capital of India and of course, <strong>Bollywood</strong>! I’m going to tell you about the two days I spent there, walking, eating, talking, shopping and checking out the hotels, pubs and cafes. This isn’t my first time in Mumbai and certainly not the last! The city is so lively and those vibes, oh my gosh! So, there you go, so excited to tell you all about it! Ou, also a dear friend of mine, Papeeha hosted me and it was the best thing ever! Her family welcomed me with open arms and were so kind to give a change of environment I needed in those days.<p>

<strong>Day 1 : J W Marriott & Razzberry Rhinoceros</strong><br>

<p align="justify">I step out of the airport and feel the sultry climate. I wonder, isn’t it spring and then it hits me that it’s a coastal city! Papeeha picks me up from the airport and we straight away head to JW Marriott in Juhu for a scrumptious lunch. Located on the Juhu coastline, it’s a luxurious 5-star hotel often frequented by celebrities especially from Bollywood. We were welcomed with drinks and I couldn’t wait to dive into their Buffet. I was starving from my travel and we decided to not stop anywhere midway for snacks as we had already informed the hotel staff about our arrival and food requirements. They have a very spacious ambience and I felt so comfortable being there. Although the city is claustrophobic, this hotel isn’t. Attention to the hungry stomach now. Their Buffet was grand and they had so many varieties for both, vegetarians and non-vegetarians. OMG I can’t even name all the items because there were so many. Other thing, the service was excellent. The staff were so helpful and kind to me. For instance, I was feeling all lazy and tired after the flight, the staff could guess that I was not in the mood to get up and he immediately ran towards me and attended to my needs. I needed a cup of coffee and the buffet just seemed so far away after hogging so much. Anyway, after eating so much, my body needed a nap and we headed to Papeeha’s place.</p><br>

<p align="justify">Later in the evening, she decided to take me to <a href="https://razzberry-rhinoceros.business.site/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Razzberry Rhinoceros</a>, a hip pub again, in the western suburbs of Mumbai, i.e., <strong>Juhu</strong>. It had recently undergone renovation and was looking more iconic than ever. The entrance to this place is quite charming and something out of a fairy tale book. We had to walk a bit through the <strong>Uditi Tarang Housing Colony</strong>, where we encountered beautiful doors and windows. My sight caught these blue doors which stood out on the white wall background. They had creepers growing along-side the door border. It reminded me a lot of old Portuguese architecture and made me think of some warm memories of back in the day. We decided to sit on the Deck as obviously, why wouldn’t I breathe Mumbai air? Humid, sultry but so captivating. Being on the deck and sipping in the view of the beach was all I need to fill in my soul. As I went in the evening, I witnessed the sunset and oh my gosh! It was such a breathtaking sight! The colours of the sunset is what fills my soul. I wasn’t really hungry after the heavy brunch so I opted for a soft drink where as she ate the entire menu to her stomach’s content. According to her, it was very yummy and she had to loosen a button of her pants!</p>
