Kolkata
The next day was short and sweet. We booked our tickets out of Kolkata the day we got there. We just didn't have any plans on what to do there so we decided to head on to Varanasi on day 2.
So far India is close to what I expected. It is really dirty and lots of poverty. There are always people trying to get you to go on tours with them and this and that. Once you get past that it is an insane experience. Just the way the city works and how everyone is doing their own thing, but it works. I swear there is no traffic laws what so ever. There on one-way roads that switch directions at certain times of the day. It is just a crazy crazy experience.
One thing we wanted to do was to go see Victioria's Memorial. This was just a short taxi ride away. It was awesome. It really caught us by surprise. It was so big I have never seen anything like it. I don't know what to expect from the Taj Mahal. After a few hours walking around there we headed to the bus station, and that was an experience.
