Feb 26: Elephant Island caves

We had a 1 hour ferry ride to Elephant Island and by the time we arrived Terry could barely walk he was so ill.  We needed to climb 120 steps to the caves so we parked Terry in a cafe close to a toilet block while the rest of us continued on.  What rotten luck for him to be struck by the dreaded tummy problem.

Can't say the effort was worth it.  There's only so much you can take in of looking at ancient sculptures.  We enjoy the people watching as much as anything else.

The ferry departs from the famous India Gate.  It looks so much smaller in real life!




An old ferry lies to rest on the foreshore of Elephant Island.








Terry's recovery was slow so the decision was made that Julie and Terry remain in Mumbai while we continued to Aurangabad.  We'll meet up with them against Mumbai airport before traveling on to Cochin.
