Bihar, India

Just arrived in Patna. Lots of traffic on the route in. Very aggressive driving to get here. scary stuff at times. But we are here now and enjoying a well deserved cold beer.

In Bihar on way to Patna

Ented Bihar yesterday and covered a lot of ground thanks to the East West highway. Possibly the best road in India. Got to Katihar at 3pm to visit the Bijaj garage to repair the 2 Fat 2 Furious rickshaw. Heading to Patna now. The roads are now extremely bumpy and in poor condition. It's very difficult to write this blog from the rickshaw. Not getting time to go to an internet cafe at the moment. The journey to here has been great. The weather has been hot for the past 3 days. A contrast from the monsoon rain we experience driving down the mountain from Shillong. That's all for now Mahul.
