Day 4: Kolkata - Nabadip
OK, neither Nabadip or Mayapur are on this map but they are about 105km North of Kolkata. Took the 12:10 local train from Howrah station, in Kolkata, to Nabadip. Trip took about 2.5 hours. Train was packed but we got seats for the whole trip and, because the windows are unglazed with safety bars across and the doors are open too, the train was …

Vous allez donc lui donner un tres genereux "tip" ...
Whistle stop in Kolkata
... lucky, luckily!
At least Andi retained her flip flops!!We have also come to the realisation and

The death stare means nothing here...as teachers, we ...
