Now that the Bunde is over( strike to you and me), Calcutta is moving again and we can leave the hotel again. The papers are reporting that there were demonstration in Calcutta and people were hurt in attacks. I'm now very glad we had a boring Friday in the hotel lounge.
We had to go into the office for the morning to try and catch up with the stuff we missed on Friday, the upside was that Sudhish took us to a place called "The Banana Leaf" which is a restaurant the serves Southern Indian food,and all vegetarian. I had be wanting to try a Masala Dosa, which is like a large pancake (2 feet across) with a curried potato filing. It was fab!. Very filling and very tasty. it was washed done with Vard, which are like savoury doughnuts with dipping sauce and filter coffee, which very strong very milky and very very sweet coffee.
Feeling very very full, we went for a wander along the street to look at the shops. What a very different experience that was. I will describe it later as I've brought pressies but i don't want to let slip what they are.
