Day 126 (Fri 10 Nov) - Siliguri
Arrived at New Jalpaiguri train station at 8.30am.
Fought our way through taxi and rickshaw drivers and headed to the pre-paid taxi booth. Got a taxi to take us to Siliguri. Checked into the Conclave Lodge, had breakfast and then chilled for the rest of the morning. Not being as lazy as Sarb and Jo, Disco spent the morning making friends with some fellow travelers who had just returned from Darjeeling.
In the afternoon we decided to explore Siliguri - not much to explore really. Basically it is a very busy trunk road, lined with shops, hotels and cafes on either side.
Found an inviting bar called Yatris, where a friendly barman served us a few welcome drinks. Popped into the internet cafe to check what was going on back home and then headed back to our rooms.
Later we ventured out again for dinner, headed back to Yatris as no where else seemed that inspiring.
