Family days out and vacations don't have to mean soul destroying traffic jams on the motorway or fights over the only camp bed. And, in truth, reading the excellent tips on Been there for great family getaways won't necessarily turn yours into the Brady Bunch. But it could bring you one step closer to family trip Nirvana or at least show you what you're missing.

    Elephanta Island

    Posted by prunes 24 April 2007

    Go to the Gate of India and buy a return ticket (Rs120).

    Spend a good hour relaxing on the ferry (an extra rs 10 to sit on top deck).

    At Elephanta Island, take the train (rs 10 return) along the jetty, pay a couple of rs to get in and face the walk - a sheer cliff face with steps cut into it and wall-to-wall stalls.

    The first cafe (on the left) going up the hill is realy good.

    Great fun, it was my first full day in India.

    Watch out for the (thieving) monkeys - they jump out and grab whatever takes their fancy, bags, crisps and water bottles,
