Mumbai

Miss Lane and Miss Chater were very excited when they arrived at Fashion Street. They had their first go at bargaining. Miss Lane found this tricky unlike her class whereas Miss Chater wouldn't give up until she felt she had a good price. They also went to FabIndia where they bought some traditional Indian clothes to help them when they fly up North. They saw Flora Fountain which is named after the Greek Goddess. They also saw a small shrine attached to a tree. This was very similar to Barbados' Class. Miss Lane read Hattie's guide book to help her to phone Mrs Bhat. Snitch, Mrs Bhat's dog, was very sneaky as he managed to unzip Miss Lane's bag and eat all her lovely sweets and biscuits! Snitch then didn't want to eat his proper dinner. They paused in the shade for a rest and as they were sitting they saw some ladies carrying heavy loads of soil on their heads. They were amazed at how they could carry it. Mrs Bhat has also introduced Miss Chater and Miss Lane to safed-ilachi'' (Small yellow banana). It had skin like cardamon. They found out this is one of Mrs Biggs favourite treats when she is in India.
