We had a lovely day at the Taj. The buffet is fantastic, the tenderloin and langoustines from the grill delicious, and the all-you-can drink Moët et Chandon champagne simply divine.

We didn't go too crazy on the champagne :) but the buffet was irresistible. I don't know if we'll be back there again, but it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon; if we have another spare Sunday, why not?

Sitting there under the eaves of the hotel's rear balcony, it was hard not to feel colonial India there with us. As a country, they've been a republic since 1950.

Because of Eid, we didn't have our regular driver, Iqbal. Instead we had a Hindi lad. He wasn't as good as a driver, but he got us where we wanted to go all the same.
