due to the reroute that cost us a few days we have decided to go along east coast instead of west. Left the rickshaws and caught overnight train to see the Taj Mahal. Head back to Varanasi tonight and set off again from there. Still in convoy outnumbered by Kiwis.

Rerouted to India early due to fuel shortage in nepal. stinking hot day followed by disgusting hotel in gorakhpur on night 2. Day 3 was 46C but great day driving and found fantastic hotel with pool in the holy hindu city of virinasi on the Ganges. Cheating by catching train to Taj tomorrow.
