Woken up early this morning by the comotion caused by crazy people in the hotel who get up at stupid-o-clock! We managed to sleep through a bit of it and finally gave in at about 7.45am.

After showering and doing some washing, we left the hotel at about 10.30am and headed south of The Maiden. We took photo oportunities at the ex-Grand Hotel, which is now a bank and at the Planetarium, which was closed. We the moved onto St Paul's Cathedral, a gorgeous grand cathedral, which forbed photographs from the inside (but we took one without anyone realising!), then it was onto the Victoria Memorial, another beautifully grand domed building, set withing scenic gardens. After this we noticed a street vendor selling Banda Puri, whic we had been wanting to try since we arrived, so after much um-ing and err-ing we took the plunge! - VERDICT: really nice little snack! It consisted of what looked like rice krispies, pieces of potatoe and tomatoes mixed in a sweet source. We enjoyed our little snack sat in The Maiden (a large park) and then attempted to sunbathe/relax, which didn't last very long! - We were sound surrounded by people wanting to sell us horse rides and some school boys and some bloke just looking on! Weird! We had to get up and leave, so that they would leave us alone. We then wondered over to the otherside of the park, past the army hq and upto the state government buildings. We stumbled upon Floatel, a hotel and restaurant on the riverside, which was a perfect photo opportunity of the two main bridges in Kolkata (inc. Howrah Bridge). With it still being early we decided to check out the New Market before heading down to Park Street Cemetry - basically a graveyard full of monument-style graves (we presummed the size was an indication of the person's importance and social standing). Having completed everything on our sight-seeing agenda we headed back to our hotel, checking out some of the restaurants along the way, for our last meal tomorrow night.

Back at the hotel, we chilled out for an hour before heading out for a bite to eat.
