So, as always, our plans didn't exactly go to plan... nothing like a few suprises in the form of some seriously dodgy paneer butter masala to mix things up a bit. Nice little overshare for my blog readers... basically, we both got sick, one after the other and thats the meal we chose to blame.

Wanting to head out of Kolkata p...

Ok, I have 9 minutes of free internet so will be super fast. I made it to Singapore despite totally forgetting the process of travelling, e.g. checking in and all that stuff.
