Day 51 (Siliguri)

India....oh no..not again :(

We crossed back into India today from Nepal for 3 stops over 3 consequtive nights: Siliguri, Maldah and Kolkata. I didn't want to go back to India and contemplated flying from Kathmandu on to Bangkok but as the flight from Kolkata had already been paid for and I'd be missing Emily's birthday if I went ahead I stuck with the plan. At this stage we've become pros with border crossing so we got through it pretty quickly and with complete ease. My passport is filling up nicely..still got a ways to go but I reckon I've nearly as many stamps in this new one after 4 months as I had in my old one after 9 years! I wonder what US immigration will make of me the next time I rock on up to their border :)

Nothing to report from the day really, it was a pretty average day with the only excitement being the new bus we got for the rest of our time in India..a sleeper bus with beds for everyone..NICE!
