Befriending mechanics and children across northern India.
Back at the mechanic,...
Back at the mechanic, this time in Kanpur. Pat drove 50+ km last night with no breaks and we're now replacing possibly the last item of our little tortuga that hasn't yet been replaced. Were able to catch up with our expanded convoy at Hotel Fun City last night and planning to do so in Agra again this evening. Having a fantastic time!

West Bengal, India
Slow going out of Jalpaiguri. It's a truck parade.
West Bengal, India
Stopped for the night at a surprisingly nice Jalpaiguri hotel (hot shower!). Much needed after the day: broken clutch, leaking engine, night-time driving, lots of time with local mechanics and being run off the road into a pile of cow shit (not a metaphor).
I'm American living in Hong Kong marrying an Australian. Basically, I'm confused. To confuse myself further, I'm driving 3000+ kilometers across a foreign country in an automobile that is not designed to do so. Thankfully, Pat is an engineer. Below photos include some of our supporters: Team Good Job, Team India and Team Weber
I love travelling off the beaten path, cricket and my fiancee, and I'm an engineer who doesn't know about two-stroke engines.... this adventure ticks all the boxes!
