11:30, 'shaw fixed and moving again. I think the mechanic replaced the gearbox and bored out the cylinder and ported the heads for 50 rupees ($1)

kochi
Things are starting to get exciting. There's a gaggle of 'Shaws in the field immediately next to our room, and the soothing sounds of missed gears and racing 2 stroke is whetting our appetite for adventure. Which sucks because our 'shaw isn't ready yet and we have to wait till tomorrow. No problem though, a few brews might dull the pain. A couple of quotes from our welcome pack: "leaks is a dry state there are extremely strict laws about drinking in public. " "Rickshaws are not designed for what you are about to do so they will break down" "it is possible to put a rickshaw on a train." "I've seen 74km/h"
Mumbai
Made it to Mumbai and met up with Hanlin who introduced us to street food and many fragrant angels. Heading to the airport for kochi now.
