Everyone is friendly (I'm glad Vix mentioned people wanting selfies with westerners, or that would have seemed very odd) and the food is ace. Can't fault it.

I signed a petition today as a museum dedicated to Bengali artisanship, which houses rare old examples of textiles and weaving, is now under threat.

Kolkata was the family history part of the trip, we're being more solidly western-touristy in Aurangabad, and I'm imagining Mumbai will have more of the trendy city break feel.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-68558911815912296422018-03-05T09:59:51.698+00:002018-03-05T09:59:51.698+00:00I'd honestly thought we'd find her.
