Quick stopover in Shillong
En route south
Random town in Assam
The sun is low on the horizon so we pull into Gossaigaon. A fun filled day with a trip to Bhutan included
Siliguri - so clean
.
Long day into Bhagalpur
3 hours stuck in traffic in a tiny town.. a couple of hours of night driving and we're done for the day
Bodhgaya - our rickshaw is suffering in this heat
So hot
Riding slowly into Varanasi
Keeping our speed down to 40km/h now, better to take it slow than risk more breakdowns
Highways at night are insane
2 breakdowns, 10 'mechanics', 3 policeman and 2 hours of night driving into the cancerous smoke of Kanpur
Taj Mahal ..from a distance
Arrived into Agra with enough time to quickly see the Taj (from outside the gates) with sunset - trekked through the bushland, covered in spiderwebs and shoes full of thorns, but a good view nonetheless
Driving through Jaipur market area - fun fun fun
A few wrong turns as we battled through Jaipur traffic and we ended up in the middle of the market streets. Phone battery also died about this point and so we were proper lost
No major accidents (yet)
Sorry to report we've arrived safe 'n' sound in Jodhpur. We picked up a local lad along the way to help share the drive, it's safe to say he's a better driver than we are.
