Calcutta to Kolkata

We traveled through the colonial times of Calcutta, a beautiful English city by the banks of Hooghly River, modelled on the London on Thames of it's day at the grand Victoria Memorial; and through the noisy crowded streets of Kolkata of today with many street hawkers, beggars and delicious Bengali sweet vendors!

We also visited many of Kolkata's monumental sites, the Indian Museum and their snazzy metro tube rail.

Our one short day didn't do the city justice, but we enjoyed our stay tremendously soaking ourselves in Tandoori Chicken Tikka and Gulab Jamun (Indian sweet balls).
