仕事が終わって、最後の日飛行機に乗る前に観光に行ってきました。ムンバイの一番有名なエレファントアイランドです。島に関する紹介をWikipediaからぱくって来ました：
Elephanta Island is one of a number of islands in Mumbai Harbour, east of Mumbai, India. This island is a popular tourist destination for a day trip because of the island's cave temples, the Elephanta Caves, that have been carved out of rock. The island is easily accessible by ferry from Mumbai, being about 10 km from the south east coast of the island city. Boats leave daily from the Gateway of India, taking about an hour each way for the journey. From the boat landing stage on the island, a walkway leads to steps that go up to the famous caves. Along the path, hawkers sell souvenirs that may bought at a reasonable price. There are also stalls to buy food and drinks.Known in ancient times as Gharapuri, the present name Elephanta, was given by 17th century Portuguese explorers, after seeing a sculpture of an elephant head found here near the entrance. This sculpture has since been moved to the Victoria and Albert Museum in Mumbai.
