What's the benefit to landing in Mumbai at 4:40 in the morning and then immediately touring for the next 13-14 hours? An early start means you can see some cool local stuff you might not otherwise get to see. One such place was a quick trip to Sassoon Docks.

Where there's fresh fish, there's bound to be some ice. As the fishermen unload their catches to be sold at the market, there's an active but subdued atmosphere. I walk by a man brushing his teeth, readily apparent of my presence, but at the same time, unperturbed. Being one of the few docks in the city open to the public, occasionally a tourist must show up here and there, but at least for that day, it was just me.
