Elephanta Island

We took a trip out to an island 7km off the coast of Mumbai. We went on a double decker ferry boat and it took an hour, it felt like 2hours because it was so hot sitting in the sun on top of the ferry. When we got there, we walked down a long pier and then up 120steps. Finally we had reached what we came to see... 


Giant Hindu statues carved inside a cave that was as big as a rugby field. All the carvings told stories of the Hindu religion. 

Most people in this part of India are Hindu or Muslim so they don't celebrate Easter, but they have other festivals at temples and places like these caves. I  hope you all have a lovely Easter break! Thanks for all your comments!
