Calcutta/Kolkata, India

My first trip to Calcutta was in April, 2009. I remember really looking forward to it as it is our only layover in India. I can't remember if we had longer than 24 hours there but I do remember we did a lot on that trip.

First we visited Mother Theresa's orphanage & house. It was such a truly blessed visit. It is amazing how much 1 person can do.

We then made our way to visit the palace.  Was picturesque. I remember we almost got kicked out because we were not allowed to take pictures inside of the art but one of the crew kept sneaking photos. LOL!

Back to the hotel pool where we were ravaged by mosquitos...

 

 

The next morning we ventured out again to shop. City Centre Mall and New Market.

 

 

 

And that was my trip there. Been there recently as well but as the crew were not up to going out we just relaxed in the 5 star hotel. What a hard life!
