SMS Update

This evening we found out that because of the elections, all hotels in Pune have been told by the police not to accept 'suspicious guests'. As a result, hotel hunting was trickier than usual! We were also stopped twice by the police on the way here, in an increasingly intimidating manner (in Lucy's opinion!), and were asked lots of questions about the jerry can of petrol we carry with us - it was even subjected to a sniff test. We're only about 500km from Goa now, so we're going to take it slowly and enjoy the Kolkan coast
