A last train-ride later



From Bodhgaya we escaped the "real" India's heat for the cooler climate of the mountains.
Between Kurseong and Darjeeling we took the small steam toy-train. The driver must have misunderstood something about when to use the whistle or he just really liked the sound of it.
We had plans about going for a few days to Sikkim while beeing in the neighbourhood but decided
that we are aloud to be a little bit lazy the last week(s) toghether. So for six days in Darjeeling we admired the view, tried a (not so exiting but pleasant) river rafting trip, visisted a teaplantation  (and had our by far fanciest and most expensive cup of tea ever). We visited the Tibetan refugee self-help center, a buddhist monestary and ate big quantities of tibetan bread.

We realized we're now able to put last in front of almost everything.
We said Hi to the usual wonderful messy India a last time after a last jeep-ride down the hill.
 A last train-journey later we find ourselves in our last city; Kolkata.
We left our bags in our last hotelroom and are on our way to do some of the last gift-shopping.
