This was a trip I had long looked forward to � my first visit to the eastern parts of India, beginning with Kolkata! It was also one of the most difficult of trips to plan � there was so much I wanted to see, and yet, I had so little time to pack it all in� oh, and yes, I wanted it to be a relaxed trip, not one where I ran from one place to another. Eventually, I spent just 2 days in the city, arriving early in the morning, and leaving the next evening. How much could I pack into the two paltry days? Quite a bit, apparently. So, here then, are my experiences, in the city of joy!
