Across the creek from Manori, on the mainland itself,
Marve is the retreat of Mumbai's beau monde. This is where
most of India's big industrial houses have their weekend
bungalows -- beautiful, sprawling mansions tucked along
the winding coastal road. Hotels on this stretch mainly
cater to corporate types who want to get away from the
rat race and offer the standard five star amenities. Futher
down at Erangal, the road peters out into a large fishing
village inhabited by koli fisherfolk. At its southern
tip there's a derelict seventeenth century Portuguese
fortress that affords an unbroken view of Mumbai's famous
skyline.
