I began my day stopping by Antilia, the tallest and most expensive private residence in the world. After that I walked all the way to Malabar Hill.

Upon leaving, I asked the staff at Pramod Navalkar Viewing Gallery if they knew how I could get to Marine Drive from there. I was told there is a bus stop just a short walk from the viewing deck.

Just like I routed my journey from Parel to Ulwe purposely to ride across the Mumbai Transharbour Link Expressway, I routed my Uber journey to Worli simply to experience the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.

Bandra-Worli Sea Link expressway — Opened in 2009, Bandra–Worli Sea Link is a 5.6 km long, 8-lane wide sea bridge that links Bandra in the West of Mumbai with Worli in South Mumbai.
