Bihar, India
Late-ish start meant a bit of night driving to get here. Not too bad following a truck. Naomi's got her money's worth out of the hotel though, mainly with the time spent sitting in the barthroom! New blogs are up on www.greatballsoffur.com.@

Pushed again into the night following a late start from Varanasi. No rooms at any hotels in Patna. Ultra accommodating Manager at Gargee Grand let us all stay in put up beds in the Conference Room! Great nights sleep following some food on the rooftop pool terrace!@

A welcome afternoon off followed by a lie in. Got Rickshaws serviced for a "good local price", ie ripped off but happy with the overall result. Very much broken the back of the mileage now. Final stretches.@

Camped just outside Adilabad. An emotional night of gale force sand storms then incessant drizzle meant for another sleepless night before the 5am start...

Made it most of the way through mental city centre traffic and followed a Tuk-Tuk we'd paid to get to our hotel. He took us to the wrong one on other side of town. Happened to be a 5 star Taj hotel... Threw money at the problem and had a night of luxury!

Finally arrived in Mysore just before midnight after a monster 18 hour day. Helped 'chav tiger' for 3 hours with knackered brakes whilst inside a tiger reserve - the irony.@
Kerala, India
Made it out of Cochin! Staying in local hotel, local press arrived on scene to see what all the commotion was about.
