Calcutta
We stayed a few days in Calcutta because it was a good way to get from Kaziranga to Varanasi.
We ended up in a fairly unusual accomodation- The Saturday Club which was originally an Englishmen's club but when the British left, it became an Indian Club. Food was great and very reasonable and the club is very central within the city. We really enjoyed evening drinks with new friends in the "Light Horse Bar" of the club. In Kurseong we had met a man (Rakesh) who lived very near and he came, found us and took us on an incredible late night trip to see the sights of the city and then out again in the early morning. The flower market pictures are some of the best we took in the whole journey. Calcutta was an interesting city to visit. We should have allocated more time for it.
