Granville Island Model Ships Museum

Granville Island Model Ships Museum

Many who visit the island to find some ancient caves with sculptors from around two thousand time before. They are well preserved now and attract thousands of tourists every day. The journey of self Gateway of India to Elephanta is very interesting. It gives not only an opportunity to get away from crowds and noise of a metropolis, but also a short trip at sea to experience the winds and waves.

There are hundreds of boats with diesel engines were lined up in India Gate to get there and people will approach you are invited to take the ride. The fares are cheap land and well worth a visit to the beautiful island. Do not forget to take your water bottle and some food, it gets quite hot and humid and restaurants "on the island is not as reasonable as on the continent in the city.

The trip itself is very well organized, interesting how you get to see the port of Mumbai and boats of various sizes and wrapped around. When approaching the island that gets a chance to see from a distance of cup inverted as the structure of Atomic Research Center in Trombay Bhabha which is directly opposite the pier on the island of Elephanta. The only thing I like is the quality of seawater around Mumbai. It's dirty. It seems that all the dirt of a city of more than 10 million people is free to flow into the sea and it is yellowish in color. Plastic bottles, polythene bags and all types of waste that can be seen floating in the sea.

On the island itself things are clear. The caves are interesting, as you climb a flight of stairs, despite strenuous hike is short. Most people visit the caves and a beautiful small museum that is there. But since there is no sign on board to direct the gun at the top of the hill most people miss it. You have to ask people about the gun. You will be directed to a small dirt track leading to the hilltop. It will take about ten minutes to climb. If you are old and ill advised to avoid.

Once on top you will notice the gun. It is very big. This reminds me of the movie Guns of Navarone. Of course, the film had two firearms, while he is one and the size is somewhat smaller than what is shown in the film. But it is very interesting that here on the island and the sight of all is also great.
