Join us as we explore the Gateway to India—Mumbai. From its early history, it’s many foreign occupations to the hustle and bustle of today. Bill tells Mumbai’s rich history as told through two of its most famous inhabitants, Gandhi and Kipling. We delve into the community of the Parsi faith and learn about their beliefs regarding the circle of life before heading to a little bit of heaven on earth, the coastal paradise of Goa. This hot spot for “in the know” travelers feature white, sandy beaches and is surrounded by tropical plant life. Bill introduces both the armchair and actual traveler to this incredible destination. We explore the Portuguese influence on Goa’s architecture and cuisine, tour the ghost city of Old Goa and explore Roman Catholic churches.
