Kolkata Day2

On Friday morning we again set out for a walk on the Maidan before breakfast. This time we cut across past the bus station
Our morning walk started at the ghat beside the Howrah Bridge
We walked through the flower market to the bridge and halfway across before retuning and walking to the Synagogue.
We then walked through markets to the Armenian church and along Armenian street, a narrow market street.
Eventually we were collected by our bus and taken across town to the Weavers Studio where we were given lunch amid a few wealthy women shoppers.
After this we drove to the weavers factory further out and saw different processes on successive floors of the building.





On our way back we stopped at the Park Street cemetery and had a wander. 


In the evening we went to Zarang, a more upmarket restaurant, near the corner of Sudder Street and Chowringee. It boasted a noisy waterfall which impeded conversation and was not as good as the previous, far less expensive, night.
