Final preparations

Hello blog subscribers

We have been based in the south Indian hamlet of Cochin for the past 4 days, preparing for our new lifes as road warriors. So far Lance is the only team member to fall prey to disease, although nothing some 'clean' water and solid food can't fix. We have been pimping, test driving, and putting our defencive driving skills to the test, and will be hitting the road tomorrow morning. Keep you eyes firmly on this page for all the latest news, gossip, photos, and cooking tips as we crawl our way across the sub-continent. First stop Kannur!!
