Frustration!!!!!

Day 8:  Bharuch to Valsad - 163 kms

 S**t day, sat outside in the grounds of the hotel we stayed in, and waited for the rickshaw to be fixed. We had high hopes for the mean machine coming back brand new and ready to take on some more klicks. 

We drove out of Bharuch and struggled on for klick after klick (our new pretentious way of shortening the word kilometre). We broke down more times to mention and were completely gutted when we reached Valsad, despite the friendliness of the waiter at a roadside cafe who told us the phrase in Hindi that menas 'guest is god'. It warmed our spirits but we were weary and the highlight of the day was being able to go to sleep in a hotel we stumbled across in Valsad. 

 

Tomorrow is another day...Â
