India's Worst Taxi Driver Kolkata

KOLKATA, INDIA: Sitting in Delhi pondering where to go next on this mini recognisance tour I'm currently on in India in order to ascertain whether a more colourful exciting state than Rajasthan exists, it dawned on me that I've been to the South, West and North of this country but not the East. Looking on the map Kolkatta as it is now called, is right on the border with Bangladesh. It's got plenty of history and a huge population. I figured why not and boarded a flight the next morning headed east. I didn't know what I was going to do in Calcutta, other than cycle around to try food and see what the city looks like. As often happens though when time is limited your plans go out the window and you end up with a mixed bag of unexpected but fun memories....
