Anything is chaotic when you don't know the system - and Calcutta airport was chaotic. I will spare you the details, but we eventually caught our plane and arrived in Varanasi.
Driving to our hotel, I saw the India that was more familiar to me. More space, dusty, dry, cows and buffalo on the road. There was activity, albeit labour intensive (jobs and growth?) going on. It was a reminder of just how congested Calcutta was.
Some scenes on the way.
We weren't sure just who was on the wrong side of the road - us or them! But the drivers sorted it out and we did arrive in one piece. The person who met us said in India you need three things when you drive - good horn, good brakes and good luck.
