SMS Update

we finally dragged ourselves away from varanasi after a magical 2 nights. Our blessing of the rickshaws with holy ganges water seems to be paying off and our crew of 3 tuktuks are powering on through central india, trying to get as many kms as poss with plenty of chai, fried food and lots of laughs. Found chilled beer last night was great added bonus.

Week 1

Finally made it to the elusive Varanasi and it has lived up to all expectations. Just magical.

Roge, the rickshaw, has also had a full service so he is no doubt as happy as larry now. He really struggled yesterday and we crawled into town. A small kiss on a lorry's bottom didn't help matters.

Heading off this afternoon and we'll troop down as far as we can  -finally heading South after a long trek West. 

Long way to go still - over 2,000k but we're confident that the raods should be better from here on in - famous last words. 

Apparently we are experiencing a heat wave at the moment and the temperature outside is enough to make the blood boil. Even with the breeze in the rickshaw it feels like you have your head in a fan oven. Now that Roge's windscreen is mended we are also without our added ventilation. 

Struggling to get photos uploaded but we will as soon as we can. 

Until then we'll keep on trucking.
