On the road again

Happy new year everybody!!!

Well we all woke up with a slight hangover following one too many warm beers last night at the party and went running around Pondicherry for oil and spark plugs. By midday we had arrived at the port to collect our rickshaw complete with amazing tiger stripes and newly fitted soundsystem which Alex had work on yesterday.

Paddy won the coin toss and led the way out of Pondicherry by immediately crashing in to another rickshaw but no damage done. The rickshaw is running really well and all of our luggage fits well on the back shelf so no need of the roof rack thank god as fellow drivers look very unstable and destined to tip over.

The first days driving has gone really well with no major hiccups and after just over 3 hours driving and around 150km we arrived in Mamallapurem (easy for you to say) just south of Chennai. The scenery was amazing and made the time fly really quickly and everyone who passes (dangerously overtakers) seem to enjoy the tiger stripes 

We thought it best to start slowly with a short trip and plan to hit the road with a few early starts over the next couple of days to get some milage on the clock. Hopefully we can continue to keep you updated.

Happy new year once again and enjoy your return to work

Alex, Matt & Paddy
