Touring Kolkata – Part 1
Today we explored Kolkata as a group. We first walked to the Eden Gardens stadium; one of the largest cricket stadiums in the world. We then walked to the Ganges River where we watched people gather to wash, talk and be blessed. We then took taxis to McDonald’s where we had very authentic Indian chicken nuggets. rnrn
rnrnAfter our lunch, we walked back to the hotel for a brief rest before heading back out to the market where all-of the girls had unique henna designs drawn onto their hands. This was followed by browsing many of the stalls that Kolkata’s market had to offer, where we bought gifts for the children at Udayan that they had told us they enjoy using on our previous visit to them. We then headed for dinner at Marco Polos which was extremely delicious. rnrn
