Lalbagh Gardens

Lalbagh Botanical Gardens are a popular day out.  The large expanse of horticulture provides great photo opportunities

Festivals

During October there are several festivals to honour whatever god happens to be flavour of the day.  I came across this drum band walking down the road where we live.

 

Motorbike

 

Jen has her new car and there is no real need to buy a second one, so I decied I should get a motorbike.  I had one for a few years some time ago, but that was when you could ride up to 250CC as a learner just on your car licence, before CBT etc etc.  This would be a good opportunity to do a simpler test at much less cost over here and be able to swap my full Indian bike licence for a UK one on my return.  Long story short - I did the test which involves driving up to a policman who stands under a tree.  He tells you to drive down a road, do a U-turn and then drive back.  He doesn't even watch while you do it.  A long as you don't fall off or kill anyone, you pass; so ~I am now a fully licenced bike rider!
