We made it! Its taken 15 days over 2 countries and 6 indian states and approximately 3100km, 80 breakdowns, 2 crashes, 2 rolls of duck tape, 50 curries and 250 loose bowel movements but its been one hell of an experience. Thanks to everyone who has supported us. Time for a few beers i think. @

our newly repaired rickshaw made it to allahabad despite 1 breakdown and running out of petrol. Anyone else had a police escort? That was fun.
