Spent the night at this amazing home stay in the hills above Bekal, we're the first foreigners they've ever hosted so they didn't know what to feed us. So they fed us EVERYTHING! #livingthedream
Early start for the Chai Hards in an attempt to cover more ground today... not sure if Independence Day will work against us.
This breakfast is incredible for a place in a construction site, though!
Took a fun tour of every spare parts shop in town before dinner... even came away with a souvenir roll of thread seal tape!
Thrissur traffic is a nightmare... probably the same as everywhere we're headed
We've spent today tuning, primping and polishing Bruce Wheellis in preparation for tomorrow's launch.
Turns out ol' Brucey's had a troubled past, and his head gasket was all messed up. We've sorted him out with a new one (Lucy is basically a mechanic now), plus some sweet floral garlands which are sure to improve our performance.
It all kicks off at 9am tomorrow from Fort Kochi!!!
