Testing times
A fascinating week in Kolkata. It must be one of the scruffiest, polluted places in the world with some quite distressing street scenes. Eden Gardens was disappointing - plenty of security and we had to clean our own seats before sitting on them but at least we won the match. Least said about the toilets.

Days 2 and 3 Kolkata Test
... disappointing as a stadium. My main requirement in coming on this trip was to include the Eden Gardens test match. Before the one day game, new seating and safety measures, this stadium has seen 100,000 spectators watch a day's test cricket. Now the capacity is 60,000 but for tthis match I doubt if there has been more than 20,000 on a single day, partly due of course to India not performing to their abilities.

Our downtown museum excursion was capped off by a wonderful biryani meal at the nearby and ...
The City of Joy-Kolkata-Part 2
... t too bad, (don't let the name fool you)hot water, clean sheets, the worst breakfast and service. What more could we want? We settled in and then went to meet our little mate Jackir, we adored seeing his little face light up when he seen us, he called me 'Miss' and Tristian 'Sir', it was pretty cute.
