Well after Sunday we'll have a preview! :cmas9

I keep wondering if this is a wall?? Other side of the river?  Chapora fort in Goa...

And this may be the same labelled Panjim but there are prob too many trees

I like it for the river/inlet....not as convinced about the fort! :cmaslol

The problem being that no tourist is likely to take a picture of an ugly, yellow concrete seawall. Believe me when I tell you I've looked at 1000's of pictures up and down the coast.
off topic but I did not even know the places below existed!

hubby who's family is from Gujarat, said that yogi could even be there.

Gujarat is just north of Mumbai, so easy to get to.

Juhu Beach
Quote
Juhu is one of the most popular and posh beaches of India. This fizzing beach on the shores of Arabian Sea is the place where one can find the bungalows of Bollywood stars. This is also a favourite site for film shootings. Luxury hotels and apartments, which are on the southern end of the Juhu beach are regarded as favourite haunts for movers and shakers of Mumbai.

Juhu beach is not a very good place to swim as it is so crowded. Tourists can enjoy horse and donkey rides, dancing monkeys, acrobats, cricket matches, toy sellers etc. here. Versova, home of Mumbai's largest Koli fishing community is in the north of Juhu.

Chowpatty beach, Marine Drive, Mumbai
