Completed rally. What an amazing experience - there were live bands, ceremonial elephant, live tv coverage, fireworks and crowds to welcome us. Now, its an indian dress themed evening. Certificate ceremony and sad goodbyes.
To wake me up it will be a 4am start on Sunday morning to get the flight via Mumbai.
Dear all - over and out...

Last 80km of journey.
All over bar 80km. 2400km, 3 car crashes. Not us. Not serious... 95 hours driving and all safe. Off to hotel for final 'do' this evening. Emotional exhausted and happy. Signing off and looking forward to seeing everybody again.. so much to share.

Today was the ENDURO part.
300 KM from Jungle in Masinagudi to Kodaikanal. Up 2 mountain passes to 2000m altitude. Via Ooty Kottagiri, Mettapalayam, Dharapuram. Stunning waterfalls - scenery but straight to bed as, yes, exhausted as been up since 5am. Car going well, phew.
updates.
We have had the first rest after 9 days of travelling NON-STOP. In Jungle hut while cars are being serviced. Up at 4am and no day off, no jeep to see the tigers! Fingers crossed they pass our way. Saw elephants, monkeys, deer and owls though - Rudyard Kipling comes to mind with Jungle Book!
