NE India Pilgrimage: Day 1
Nice morning, partly cloudy, 32 degree C and I was still unaware about the surroundings in a world of my own. Ah, dont remind me of those bed-teas and the food that you get at home. So, at 10:30 we were at the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata. I dont really like museums and all but this one was worth the time. Calcutta had been an important place during the times of our freedom struggle, and you would be reminded of this fact when you visited the museum.
The Howrah bridge is one of the few of that type in India. It was nice going on top of the bridge in the good old ambassador that took us to Calcutta airport to catch the flight to Bagdogra. 1-hr of torture ended as we landed at Bagdogra by about 4PM. An Omni arranged by Help Tourism was already there that took us to Kalimpong Park Hotel, Kalimpong in about 3 hrs. We spent the night in the hotel with a little bit of television helping us in removing the boredom.
