land of fish curries
We may be running late to the finish line...urm servicing in Goa takes time!
rickshaw police chase
Realised on the Mumbai Pune toll gate that no rickshaws allowed. Not letting the barrier crashing down on us or the scattering of toll staff, we broke for the sweet 100km shortcut. A short but determined escape was undermined by pissed off police wanting big bribes. As they left the clutch cable snapped and thus started a hilarious cycle of bump starts facing the wrong way down the mountain at 2am. Slept in tuk tuk in defeat but laughing now.

We thought Bihar had the worst roads in India. All is forgiven as the Agra to Bombay road is bone rattling mayhem. Rickshaw very poorly now, but will sweet talk her to Goa

Taj Mahal warriors
Ok we got to the Taj and now it looks a really long way to Kochi. As long as the roads are not as bad as Bihar,or as steep as Darjeeling, and we dont break down everyday like we have done, there is every chance we will do it.
Off road mayhem and river crossings
Currently in Patna having come from Darjeeling. Slowly working our way through every breakdown scenario, with the latest fun entailing the entire exhaust falling off and being held on with a screwdriver and some chicken wire. Still optimistically planning to do the Taj after Varansi then down through Goa. Been on lots of adventures and this ones awesome!!
