Exploring Bombay, is something that my friends and I have decided to do. Visit places that we have never been to but have heard a lot about it. Many places in Bombay are beautiful and have many stories attached to it that we want to rediscover.
Tourists: Heena, Priya, Me
Duration: No time limit. Cover as many places in a month.
Rules: A camera is a must. A little research before visiting the place. Carry plenty of water.
1. Phillips Antiques, Colaba
This is the first palce we visited. They have a collection of different ancient things like pottery, toys, furniture, etc. There were maps of pre & post India. Pictures of Old Bombay. We were NOT allowed to take pictures inside the place so we took one outisde.

2. Sassoon Docks, Colaba
One of the biggest fish markets in Bombay. We went there in the evening where there was nothing to see. The market is right inside from the main gate of Sassoon dock. We plan to buy fish one day from here.

3. Afghan Church, Navy Nagar Colaba
This is one place I have always wanted to go. I have heard so much about this church. It is built by the British to commemorate the dead of the First Afghan war of 1838.
When we entered the premises it didn't look like we were in Bombay. It was silent, nobody was there except for the garderner who told us that the Church shuts at 1pm. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the inside of the church.

The special London-made clock at the dock needs a mention here to show the time that it belonged....(P.S. - it is still working). Amazing photographs, nice description and I'm proud to be part of ur blog!!
