www.instagram.com/timandglo October 6, 2014 Our first time day in Kolkata, Indiaaaaaa! YAY! We took it easy because we were pretty exhausted after our 12:45 am arrival at the airport. We only got to bed around 2:00 am! We kept the day's itinerary simple, exploring the area around Sudder Street - where our hotel is located - and the Central Business District on foot. Our first stop was New Market, aka Sir Stuart Hogg Market. Because our trip coincided with the Durga Puja Festival, most of the market was closed. We later discovered that one small part of the market was open and eagerly explored. While the market offers a variety of shops, it's filled with touts, which makes it difficult to move even 10 feet before someone tugs on your arm or asks you what you're looking for. Don't overlook the area around New Market, which is gritty and super cool! We spent the rest of the day looking for historic buildings in the Central Business District, like the High Court, Town Hall, St. John's Church, General Post Office, Writer's Building, etc. Tim's a BIG cricket fan, so we also had to pay homage to Eden Gardens, Kolkata's cricket stadium. Unfortunately, Glo wasn't feeling well at the end of the day, so we had to cut our walking tour short around BBD Bagh and head straight back to the hotel for dinner and rest. But we totally fell in love with Kolkata on day one and couldn't wait until day two! Thank you for watching!! See you in four days for our next upload! :) MUSIC: Slow Magic: "Feel Flows (Teen Daze Remix)" by PRTLS https://soundcloud.com/prtls/slow-magic-feel-flows-teen Anytime by Cosmonaut Grechko https://soundcloud.com/cosmonautgrechko/anytime-1
