Kingfisher Time!!



After literally trains, planes and automobiles, we have finally made it to our hotel and completed Phase 1 of the trip. Whilst the train journey from Calcutta to NJP was fantastic, and a real experience of India, the simple luxury of a shower in the hotel was bliss!
A brief reccy at the start point of NJP station today was merely the prelude to more important matters - the first cold beer of the trip. A couple of Kingfishers later and the 2-day journey seems long ago already. A ricksaw ride back to the hotel tested the fitness of the locals and gave us a brief glimpse of about 1/2 mile of the 55 mile route we will be following.
Currently ensconsed in the hotel bar having a team meeting, supported by the readily available Kingfisher.
Preparation is everything!
