The wait has been long, but the time has arrived! I will be posting pictures of India and Bhutan over the next few days. The pictures of Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kolkata, India (in the “Photoset” called India 2011) are now posted!
The photos will be in three separate “Photosets” and are found under the “Photos” menu item. Click on “India 2011” , “Bhutan 2011” or “Andaman and Nicobar Islands 2011” and then click on the first picture. Scroll through the pics by locating and clicking on “Next” on the right hand side of the photo near the top. There may be more than one page of photos so click on “Next Page” to view more pics.
Coming soon…..Bhutan and the Andaman Islands!
Enjoy the photos and let us know which are your favorites!
hi, my wife and I are about to travel to Kolkata and the Andaman islands and I have seen that you have been travelling there. How was your trip? I hope you enjoyed it…
Kolkata was wild. Tons of people, noise, congestion. We walked everywhere – not just where most of the tourists walk. Commercial areas, residential areas, over the Howrah Bridge, down by the river, through markets. We felt perfectly safe the whole time. We rode the metro – learned to let go of our personal space! My husband loved the city, whereas I thought it was good (I may have been tired by then as we had traveled for 3+ weeks with no “down” days). Just go and experience the city, it is very worthwhile.
We went to Havelock Island in the Andamans. We loved it there. Laid back and easy. The island is easy to get around on and the people are friendly. Lots of restaurants to choose from. We scuba dive, so diving took up most of our time. Diving was superb! If you dive, it is a must see destination, especially now when tourism is just getting going.
I have just finished posting our trip pictures on our blog, so have a peak. If you have any other questions, send us a note. I hope you enjoy your trip.
