And for us, that's a wrap. The first ever Rickshaw Run Sri Lanka has been won. We make it very clear it's not a race from the start, but seeing as we crossed the finish line first, it definitely was. A race we won. In fine style. Truly, an incredible week of nonsense. Sri Lanka. Done.
You know when you want and early start but then the bridge you need got washed away in some floods and then you have to trek for miles with your heavy luggage in the sun and then have to pull yourself over on a ferry meaning you'll be late for the finish line? Yeah. That.
Today was an elephanty kind of day. We have about 90 km left to the finish line. Right now it's time for some fish on the beach.
Bloody traffic.
Mr. Matt and the elephants.
We got some hitchhikers. And I don't mean the colony of ants laying eggs in our rickshaw this morning. School Run Sri Lanka Pioneers.
Lovely evening with this bunch of fearless lunatics yesterday, looking forward to seeing you all at the finish line. Have a blast.
Mila dropping a pin at the most Easterly point of Sri Lanka. Just need to hit the Southernmost point and we've done them all. Boom.
"I'll pass on the cricket match thanks chaps, I have a pitstop beach party to get to"
The guys from 'Devils in Skirts' have their priorities in fine working order.
It's true you know. We had just a single cup and we suddenly realised that trying to bump start whilst still in reverse is a shit idea.
Just bumped into the chaps from 'Devils in Skirts' so tagging along with them to the pit stop party tonight in Arugam Bay.
I live, breathe and dream rickshaws. It would be amazingly depressing if it wasn't so bloody cool.
