We get hold of our rickshaw today and we are so excited!!

Mumbai Calling

Mumbai so far has been an experience.  From landing at the airport and being escorted by a 'security' guard to a booth to try and phone our hotel and then into a car to a hotel in the middle of a slum and being truly ripped off for a hotel room for 5 hours as the hotel that we had booked only allowed check in after 12.  The hotel room could only be described as hell on earth.  Wires hanging out of sockets etc.

 Any way the hotel we had actually booked was much nicer, once we arrived.  We have been having a lot of fun in Mumbai.  We have just comeback from seeing a bollywood movie which was an experience.  It was about a cowboy and his quest to keep India vegetarian. It obviously made sense to the Indians in the cinemabut not to us, despite being in English.

Sam and I will try to update the blog once the Rickshaw Run has started.  I promise the next post will be a lot more interesting.

The Journey Starts Here!!!

After wasting most of my afternoon pressing refresh, like an eight year old child on a sugar rush, we finally got our confirmed place on the Rickshaw Run. 

We will try and keep you all updated with our quest to get sponsorship, a third team member and just general excitement over the coming months as we prepare for what will be an epic journey.
