Hello from Darjeeling

Hello
My trip so far has been amazing! Slept nearly all the way to Delhi, arrival in Calcutta was no hassle at all. Train station was fine, people were really helpful. I had my own policeman guarding me for a while. Shared my cabin with a lovely Indian couple and slept most of the 11 hour journey.

Arrived in New Jalpaiguri around 10am this morning. Got a jeep the whole way to Darjeeling as it was far to misty to really appreciate the views from the Toy train. The jeep went the same way anyway. I met a really interesting well travelled old American guy called Tom on the jeep. He's been travelling all over the world and has some great stories. We've been out exploring Darjeeling in the cold misty rain.

The plan is to head up to the school tomorrow.
