We have made it safely to ' the cherry'. Lucky, named after the three legged, one eyed dog, did us proud and we made it back without a scratch. After 130 hours driving its great to be static and to be in the french quarter away from the noise of tata truck horns. Bring on the leaving party. . . . .

Brilliant. Have survived madras and made it to the beach. Adam is currently eyeing up the lobsters in the tank. For those on their way try the sea breeze hotel its on the beach and has a great pool. More updates in a couple of days when we hopefully reach pondicherry.

If anybody needs entries for the top fleabag of the year hotel awards we can recommend a number of hovels. We are now though within sniffing distance of the coast road which should take us all the way to the finish on Sunday. Still amusing ourselves by asking for directions to San Jose . . . .

We are about 100 km from hyderabad after a brutal day driving yesterday clocking up over 400 km. Have been stopped by the police to check our papers. After laughing incredulously at our journey they waved us through with a wiggle of their heads not before Mils had trodden on the foot of the one with the large gun . .

the first of the monsoon rains managed to wake lucky up, though she did grind to a complete halt two more times. The scenery has been beautiful and remote. We did not make nagpur but have found a suitable fawlty towers hotel to stay in. Thanks for the jokes . . . . We could have died of boredom.

'easy tiger' said specky and mils when she asked them for a can of whiskas. Had an amazing morning viewing a tiger bathing. We are taking the rest of the day off for beers and some r-and-r and will be back on the road south tomorrow. @
