  Thursday 7th of December 2016 and our car was supposed to be here at 1 o'clock, but no sign of any car and that's even though it is quarter past 1. They called around and they had no clue where the car was. Calling and asking around and  the car “guy” had no clue. A small car came with three passengers from Calcutta and this was obviously the car that was going to take us  to Calcutta. And it was not a big car, will we fit in to the Suzuki?
I put my bags in the back and the JUSTTRAVELS India's representatives put their bags in the car. Now there was no room for any more room for more luggage. I took the front seat expecting us to take off immediately. But something was going on and I had to call the guys to take their seat. We were finally ready to leave Gadkhali, the Gateway to Sundarbans bound for New Town in Calcutta and the Pipal Tree Hotel. Hot shower and a pot of tea, here I come!  Getting ready to leave Gadkhali

The driver, I got right on to his phone and I told him to keep his eyes on the road. A little later and he was on his phone again. - Next time you play with your phone I will throw it out the window, I said. The road to Calcutta hasn't been improved during the time we spent in Sundarban. It was not much more than a dust path, but the traffic was light and we were hauling arse and we were outside my hotel around 3 thirty in the afternoon. We stopped 2 times for the driver to make a call. Again, I told him that he had customers in the car. And of course: - Next time you talk on the phone I will throw it out the window! JUSTTRAVELS India's representative was almost ending up in a fight with the driver, at least 2 times. But we managed to find my hotel and I was soon in a shower. It was a nice hotel and I would have recommended the hotel if it wasn't for the non-existing internet. Same at The Park Kolkata. I book hotel from the other side of the world. I chose a hotel with free WIFI and when I arrive I tell them that the WIFI is not working. They tell me that this is the free WIFI. They have the SUPER INTERNET option but this was not free. A scam!  We arrive to Pipal Tree Hotel in Calcutta

Otherwise it have been very nice hotels and the food have been excellent, what a change from back in the 80's. But no Diet Pepsi, but I was soon having a pot of tea in my room. I went for dinner and they had some very good food. I started with butter naan and a pot of tea. Some Ukrainian stew on a bed of herb rice and fried potatoes. Hassel nut and some chocolate thing for dessert, excellent. I asked them to bring a pot of tea to my room at 5 thirty in the morning and I was off to bed. Up early tomorrow to catch my flight to Varanasi. Never any chance to sleep until late here. Well, t is an adventure and they are supposed to start early morning. So we just need to click HERE to find out everything about Indigo flight 6E-713 to Varanasi. The tiger safari has come to an end and that means that my safari uniform ends up in my bag. I use the safari uniform as wrapping for the bottle of Sundarban wild honey I bought. But the helmet, I will still need to carry that one around on the flights looking like a twat as the helmet will be destroyed in the bag. Cultural Enrichment of Germany

E ni Svenskar och inte förstår Engelska så ska ni skämmas. J och Björn, med det menar jag inte att alla mina stavfel ska ältas varje gång vi träffas.
Well, the flag of Skåne, just a BONUS flag.
