Where did colombus think he was on his 33rd day of his journey?

On his 33rd day of the journey, Christopher Columbus believed he had reached the outskirts of Asia, specifically the islands off the coast of India. He was convinced he had found a new route to the East Indies, despite actually landing in the Bahamas and not realizing he had discovered a new continent. His miscalculations were largely due to the prevailing belief in a smaller Earth and the existence of a direct westward route to Asia.
