Convergent views for a
change
12/03/10 22:46
As it happens (and much to the
relief of the author) there is general agreement
that the Darjeeling at Leisure
tour planned for February 2011 has
all the elements required for a successful trip.
As well as the two-day charter to Darjeeling and
the evening dinner charter, there are
opportunities for additional rides on the service
trains and general pootling about in the town and
its environs, something missing from the more
expansive, and expensive, tours. The Delhil
railway museum and the Kolkata tram charter and
river excursion give the tour additional variety.
However, what secures the Chairman's vote is the
opportunity to ride on an elephant and look down
on the membership from some considerable height.
Why this is an attraction has not yet been
explained to our satisfaction.
All that remains is to work out why the dates of the
trip don't line up with the stated days of the week.
Perhaps some sort of initiation test?
