Adventure before Dementia India 2012

---

08.00 Hours Wednesday 28 March



So here we are all alone in my last stop, Calcutta before I fly down to Cochin on Saturday.



Feels a bit odd to be alone after all the companions of late



So today I want to see the cricket ground Eden Gardens then take a ferry on the Hoogley River, take some photos of Howrah Bridge and go the famous flower market under the bridge.



I set off early to try to beat the heat of the day.







I walk to Eden Gardens but it’s difficult to get a good photo as the place is so big.



I take the ferry across the river back to Howrah station where we arrived yesterday



So I am out for 6 hours and it’s getting really hot so I head back only stopping for lunch on the street.



It is tough in the heat after 2 in the afternoon and as you will see by the photo of my feet really hard on them too.



I am shattered!!!!!!!!!
