Jaisalmer, India
We've made it! All 6 of us in one piece, who'd have thought it! Swiftly polished off a nicely chilled beer and now pool side again in a luxury 5 star, we thought we deserved it! Camel treks and parties to come as well in the next few days, life is good!
Pokaran, India
Finished yesterday in our nicest hotel of the trip! Set in an old fort, the pool, buffet and general surroundings were incredible! However despite this pleasant end, the rest of the day wasn't as smooth with one of the tuk tuks rolling! Luckily only 1 person was on board at the time (Alex) and he is absolutely fine!
Rajasthan, India
Just the 360km drive yesterday! The weather was great, the roads were smooth and the tuk tuks were (not literally) on fire! 2 more drives and then time to relax in the deserts of Jaisalmer, we cannot wait!
Uttar Pradesh, India
Spent yesterday in Agra visiting the taj mahal (in the rain!) and fixing the tuk tuks. Now on the way westwards and into Rajasthan baby!@
Madhya Pradesh, India
Arrived yesterday in Gwalior and swiftly checked into a hotel where we recieved our mid way support package of Wi-fi, Dominos and the Man U and Chelsea games all from our hotel beds, happy days!
Bihar, India
A non mover today I'm afraid guys and girls! The tuk tuks effectively failed their mot's hardcore and took £60 and 6 or so hours to fix! The aim tommorow though is Varanassi, so out of Bihar and onwards and upwards!@
Bihar, India
Another long day which ultimately has ended up with us taking a serious look at our route and cutting it down considerably so we have more time to enjoy each place! Having said this though, the day despite more breakdowns was on the whole very enjoyable ending up with us sharing a meal with 2 fellow rickshaw teams
Bihar, India
Started off brightly from Bagdogra but what was to follow was far from this! Broken gears, exhausts, roof bars and 4 tyres were just the start! After friendly help during the day, night brought with it far different circumstances! A 13 hour long day resulted in 3 hours of night driving, an experience which will never be repeated on this trip! 1 tuk tuk with limited and the other with effectively no lights driving through the state of Bihar renowned for it's lax laws was not a journey one would ever do again! However despite having no idea where we were, being constantly hounded by people who were let's just say not as friendly as earlier in the day!, we finally arrived at our hotel due to help from 2 random Indians and the local army! Also with us due to leave Bihar tomorrow to much nicer surroundings further west we are still in good spirits, so don't worry parents!@
West Bengal, India
Has had an awesome time so far in India! Delhi, Bagdogra, Gangtok and now Shiliguri having just become the 1st team to complete the 1st part of the Rickshaw Run, the death hill!
