A 5 and a bit hour stop over in Dubai and we left again at 2am, and I thought yesterday was tough, for the 4 and a bit hour flight to Kolkata.
The plane arrived roughly on time and then the enterable queue for immigration and baggage collection. between passport control & Customs I managed to loose the little slip of paper that we have to the customs officer. Fortunately they just gave me another one to fill in and all was ok. We were met by Pastor Asis Sarkar and two of the BMS staff with two 4x4’s to takes us too the guest house.
The Guest house is in its own compound behind a tall brick wall but has a wonderful garden that, though you can hear the trafic outside is a haven of peace in the busy city

Kolkata traffic is very similar to Kampala’s but with fewer motor cycles and the taxis are yellow and black Ambasador’s and not Blue and white Toyotas! Auto rickshaws, some times called Tuck Tuck, are a new feature to the urban landscape & we actually saw two of the famous Kolkata Rickshaw pullers, officially the use of Human power to pull a rickshaw is illegal in India but they still ply their trade in Kolkata.
