Final push!
I can't believe it's been two weeks! What a journey it's been!
Spent last night next to the citadel fort in Jodhpur. Now warming up the Ricks for the final 300km on desert road. Finish line here we come!
4 fantastic days...
...and no wifi. Sorry for the lack of updates.
Here's the snapshot version of what's happened.
Day 7 - Bijapur temple. Amazing. You could whisper to someone 40 metres away. Then maybe the best meal of the trip following a drag North to latur.
Day 8 - long blitz to the lonar meteor crater. Tranquil. Stunning spot. Roads not so great. Poor ricks.
Day 9 - pics of the crater then pressed on to the ajanta caves. Roads even worse!
Day 10 - dash round the lovely Buddhist caves - Beautiful - then pressed north to a hotel near indore. Miles ticking over.
Day 11 - the 'burner day'. We just finished it. We did 420kms today on the way to udaipur. Impressive driving skills just now in the maze of streets. People are starting to ask us for lifts. Time for a beer!
India has us now!
We're deep in India! Staying in Bijapur. Heading north tomorrow into the unknown!
First breakdown today. Only cost us an hour or so. Engine muck getting into the carburettor. Wish we could say we stripped it and cleaned it ourselves. But the local guy seemed a better bet. Next time!
Beautiful day off at hampi
A great day off in Hampi!
Started with a yoga class this morning. Much aching amongst the chaps but ultimately very satisfying.
We had a long run to here from tumkur yesterday. Tuks did us proud. Changed the air filters and greased the wheels today by way of thanks.
Hampi is stunning. We did all the temples and ruins. 200km to Bijapur in the morning. E.
Day 3 done
Wonderful morning in Mysore today. The market was a highlight. Overwhelming with all the smells and the colours.
Then an afternoon push to tumkur that ran a little longer than expected. We aim to stop driving after dark. Ricks still holding up great. Love those machines.
Big push to hampi in the morning. It's a 200km kind of day so wish us luck!
It's a go!
Nearly go time! New cushioning on the two ricks. Paint jobs look fantastic!
Tom hunting obscure spare engine parts like a hero. The rest of us nodding as if we understand. All good.
Looks like we're the only team electing to penetrate the heartland of India. Like heroes. Update in a couple of days as to how we get on crossing the ghats.
Nearly time to go!
