First day of complete awesomeness!

![file] We've driven 220 km on the first day - this has been one h*** of a ride! We started out being compeletely innocent victims of the super-amazingly-shitty monsoon. The roads were practically flooded when we drove down the mountains of Meghalaya - and our luggage was as well. Fortunately Jeppe had his fancy bathing shorts on... He was SOAKED!

Apart from that there has been no real problems - Well.. We've had one breakdown (thanks to the John Deer team for saving our ass big time. We had no clue what was wrong, promising huh??)

We've met Eba and Reidar from Norway and we're having a great time getting lost on the Indian roads that is having almost no!!!) signs. To be absolutely honest: our route changed significally when we suddenly found out we were in a city called Boko.. After have been driving 140 km we actually thought we were 50km north of Boko... On the other side of a humongeous river... Well, we were NOT!

It turned out pretty well - and we think this is the whole point of the Rickshaw Run; get lost and have fun doing so. We definitely had!

Time for Indian food now, then sleep, then up tomorrow at 5 AM. The life of a Rickshaw Runner!

10 days till lift off!

Hi! We are now officially online on the blog.

We'll embark on our great trip in 10 days from now, and we are absolutely ready - at least as much as it's possible considering we're participating in this madness of a race. It's gonna be great!

Go visit our facebooksite on http://facebook.com/pursuersofthewild

Below you can see our rickshaw's design. We can't wait to see it! ![file](//uploaded-files.theadventurists.com/images/blog/8744e62a48ab33992abe656f89fc2bc7f81b0400.png)

Mathias

We are two young 20-year-old Danes pursuing the wild India! There's a first time for everything here on Earth, and we really think we're quite an example of it: It's our first time in India, our first time driving a tuk tuk, Jeppe's first time in Asia and our first long-term backpack trip. Wish us luck!

Cool Earth

Cool Earth fights for the rainforest! Through investments in the rainforest's local communities Cool Earth doesn't just buy land or build fences to keep the rainforest intact. They help the locals to e.g. get better education, health systems, infrastructure. A win-win situation for everybody!
