Made it to the finish line! Final odometer reading: 3009km (1800 miles). It was a hell of a ride with the sloths!
Burnt up the dessert and made it to Jaisalmer. Finish line festivities to follow!
Took a day off from driving today and saw an awesome fort and then took a tour of an amazing palace. One more day of driving to Jaisalmer tomorrow.
Boring day of highway driving today. But the restaurant at our hotel was excited to have us as their first customers! (Aaaand they just wanted a picture with American tourists)
Took the Shaw through the Mickey D’s drive though. Never in my life have I been so excited to eat McDonalds! Was a nice change up from having traditional Indian food for every meal.
A common site on the road in India: a herd of cattle walking through the road. And, for those following our map, we made it back to the ocean!
Had to put some serious miles on today so not a lot of time for fun detours. Thought I wasn’t going to have anything interesting to post until I saw a kid riding a camel in the parking lot of our hotel! Plus, street corn!
Stopped for some chai and had a crowd of kids interested in us. (Now I know what it feels like to be a celebrity) Then we thought that the toll road guards were going to shake us down! Turns out, they just wanted a picture with us.
Special edition Sloth Brigade post.
Today: Ruins! They’re huuuuge.
Plus, a cow in the street eating a cardboard box. Why...? Because India
Aaaand here’s the picture of us getting stuck in the parade

Two mates that do nothing sensible together, and usually regret it. Dreamed about this run for years now, finally happening. One of us works in a corporate office, the other lives on a boat in the Adriatic sea, so, same thing.
