Day 3 Today we had our first lay in, but it was still disturbed by the persistent laundry man who insists on knocking at 7.00am wanting us to use the charged laundry service - he knocks untill he gets an answer, I don't think his understanding of English stretches to the do not disturb signs we had put up. Today our breakfast consisted of mango cornflakes which I have to say were a rather interesting experience! Today was a day off for rest, tourism and shopping. Our first part of the day was a tour of the sights of Kolkata, we saw fort William, the queen Victoria memorial and some other sites of the city. While we were at the Victoria memorial is really hot, so hot it felt like your skin was burning along with the humidity making it sticky! After a very sweaty tour of the art exhibitions inside we sat under a shelter avoiding the sudden monsoon downpour which cooled things down a little. We then went back to the city centre where we had a good old feast of Macdonalds - which was enjoyed by all considering we are mostly all fed up of two meals of the same kinds of curry every day! After lunch we went shopping - my favourite part of the day! And spent 3 hours in ONE shop! "team beulah" and I bought a lot of things! We are a very good team when it comes to shopping if nothing else! I really enjoyed the experience because they invite you to come in and sit down on a mat, they bring round hot chi tea and bring out every colour and style of bags, tops and baggy trousers they have. The shop is stacked almost to the celing with stuff, it was pretty amazing! So over all it's been a fun, hot, sweaty day, like most other days now! But we are all happy and tierd, now that we've had some retail therapy! Rebekah x
