No great change in Kolkata since we were here last a few years ago.
We decided to experience a short ride on a launch (ferry) and then a taxi ride over the games Howrah bridge, supposed to be the busiest cantilever bridge in the world. No stopping anywhere on the bridge even for a short while and it is enforced.
An evening walk around Park Street. Window shopping and dry Bhel Puri from the pavement.
A stop at Flurys in Park street for some pastries and dinner at Mocambo.
We leave tomorrow for Bodh Gaya, early in the morning.
Here are a few images of the streets of Kolkata
