We did not make it inside the Victoria Memorial, because it and ‘most everything else in the city was closed in observance of Gandhi’s Birthday. Still, we walked under black clouds from St. Paul's Cathedral up to the entry gate. We might have paid to enter the grounds, but it started to rain. We took refuge under a tree briefly, but the drizzle quickly became a downpour. We hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take us to Peter Cat Restaurant on Park Street, using Kidderpore Road, so that we might pass alongside Fort William. Instead, the driver took us all the way to Kidderpore (!) on treacherously flooded streets, made a U-turn, then took the most direct route to Park Street. Just one more unsolicited adventure in a city that dispenses them liberally.
