20th January
We have arrived safely
It has been a very long journey. The flight from Birmingham to Dubai was great very comfortable, lovely food and great movies to watch. The plane was an airbus so it had an upstairs.
The flight from Dubai to Kolkata was somewhat cramp there just seem to be so many people getting on the plane. We had less than 20minutes to get off our plane at Dubai and walk the whole length of the airport to find our gate. Going through Kolkata immigration point was nerve racking as it’s the first time we have ever done an E visa. We had to be photographed and our finger prints were taken digitally. It was funny because most of us had sweaty hands so the machine would not work. It took us about 1hr 30mins to get the whole group through and collect our luggage. We were met by our host Rig then driven across Kolkata to arrive at our simple but clean hotel.
