MORE BREAKDOWNS BUT STILL IN GOOD SPIRITS

Cars struggling.  Mechanics working flat out to keep us on the road.  Delhi Belly rife.  Between Kalasa and Kadkani!  HAPPY DIWALI everybody.

Photo shows the weather coming in..

A quick snap unformatted but gives you an idea of our travel still.  Will hopefully get more as weather permits and no power cuts.  Patrick

True Adventure

Another exhausting couple of days and  FANTASTIC experience so far.

Friday we drove from Muredeshwa to  the Silent Valley.   The accommodation was so basic that we slept under the stars with comments of "Beware of Tigers, snakes and monkeys!!"  GROWL.. !

The following night was torrential rains and red mud everywhere... No tigers but lots of monkeys, snakes and spiders.  Only one loo between 16 people.    Everybody really is exhausted already what with jet lag catching up, restless nights and 10-12 hour driving during with day.

Day 2. Gruelling

Driven 280km today which took us 12 hours, lots of hill climbs, little villages, stopping for a couple of breakdowns - I'm exhausted.

Tonight we will sleep under the stars and tomorrow is Diwali - significant to the Hindu, Jain and Sikh as a celebration of good.  Lets see what tomorrow brings.

Day 1 Lunch in Mollen

Whoops the power keeps going off... this was yesterday!   Keeping the messages short and sweet but my experience so far is HUGE - long day!

Still a beautiful car...

Originally a 1950 something Morris Oxford before the presses were sent to India I believe.  

24 LOGOS FOR BLS ENGLISH

We have the most logos... how cool is that.  Will get some great shots as we move on.  Left at 6am this morning for my first days hike.
