[Continued from Visit to Tarapith (Part - 1)] The accident took place just in front of us. A speeding motorbike was coming through the highway. As it approached that point it came to the edge of the highway and lost its balance. The motorist was injured. He was taken to the hospital by some local people in a rickshaw. After that we went inside the restaurant and placed our order. The food arrived but the food was not up to the mark. In the shop there were plenty of mosquitoes which made us very uncomfortable. Somehow we quickly had our dinner and went back to our hotel.
The next day we woke up late in the morning and quickly got ready and went to the bus stand. That day the sun was extremely hot. We felt as if our skins were getting burnt. We once again enquired at the bus stand whether there were any buses to Bakreswar. They replied that there were none. We could get bus to Siuri. From Siuri we would have to take auto to get to Bakreswar. But I decided not to go there. So we started walking through the streets of Rampurhat in search of a good restaurant. We did some shopping at the market area of the town. Most of the goods sold here were locally made and the price was also low. On the way we saw a restaurant named Panthasala. After strolling for some time we entered the restaurant. We went upstairs. The restaurant was quite good, neat and clean. We were served Bengali thali. The food was nice. After having lunch we went back to our hotel.
In the evening we were busy packing all the items as we had to catch our train for Howrah early in the morning next day. At night we went to Panthasala restaurant. This restaurant serves bengali thali in lunch and changes to AC Family restaurant at night. We ordered fried rice and chicken manchurian. Though we had to wait for a long time the food was really great. Then we went back to the hotel. The day after we woke up early in the morning. We checked out of the hotel. We caught hold of a cycle rickshaw and went to the railway station. From there we boarded the 13012 Malda Town - Howrah Intercity Express at 07:10 am. The train arrived at Howrah at 11:45 am.
