saturday april 10th Team Funjabi finish their Rickshaw Adventure! The road to Gangtok was arduous with 1st gear being used extensively! We had no problems at the Sikkim border and no en route breakdowns! Time for a well earned beer and the after party to look forward to! A big thanks to those who have followed us along the way, cant wait to see you all when we get back. Take care, Team Funjabi :-D

Bonjour Siliguri Team Funjabi has landed! Slow and steady was the theme of the day. We are hoping there is enough left in the convoy to make it to Gangtok! We did our good deed for the day and stopped to help two other teams. Thought it was prudent to share our extensive breakdown knowledge! Treating ourselves to a cheeky beer and room service. Bring on SIKKIM! BURRUUUUUPPP!

WHat A DAY! All three auto s broke down so we loaded them onto a truck and made up the days miles! Took one day for them all to be fixed giving us our first day without any kilometres being achieved. We managed to meet and stay with Amar and Anjali s uncle s family who were most hospitable. W ** some text is missing **

BACK ON THE ROAD! Thanks to Amar and Anjali s family we got some reliable auto repairs on all 3 of our out of action beasts. We got an excellent days worth of driving with no breakdowns! Unfortunately our progress was halted by a local roadside homicide which caused a complete standstill in traffic along the road we were taking. Thus we had to prematurely cut our days driving and stay in Siuri. We are hopefully of making up the distance 2Mw. pictures when we get back! Take care @

overnight in BALESHWAR. Roads in Orissa are still not the best but relative progress today. Mechanically the autos behaved today which made a welcome change. Saw some easter celebrations in some towns and its now been 1 week on the road. Rough calculations on our current pace see us reaching Gangtok on schedule. Keep your fingers crossed for us! Happy easter to all! Team funjabi :-D

spent last night in Srikakulum. Started the day late as we had to fix the exhaust on one auto and buy a fuel cap, which was notoriously difficult as most auto s are now LPG! We also got the flat tyre fixed! Highlight of the day was being stopped by a news channel where we were interviewed and also filmed whilst driving! The channel was Z News 24. Today we are hoping to get into state no4 = Orissa! :)
