Day 5 The heads weren’t too bad but Ross’s shoulders are like beetroots. We started off around 7.30am, we were probably one of the very few teams that were able to get up without much of a hangover looking at the what’s all group. Some people didn’t get in until 3.45am. God knows what they were doing until that time, the party wasn’t that big there. I had a tonne of washing to dry from what I washed the night before. the rickshaw was like a Chinese l...

Day 4 Alarms on for 6.30 to leave, I woke a little bit before that. Good job too, uncle terry and dad had already loaded the rickshaws! They weren’t stopping in that hole any longer haha!

We pulled over just before we got back into the main road, on the slip road. They forgot to put their petrol cap on! Turns out petrol caps are ...

Day 2 Baltic weather this morning, there was cloud and because we were a little higher up I don’t think that helped temperatures. This was it, D day! Kerela strike day. 24 hours everything is closed, so we have until midnight and then we can find a hotel! It’s fine.... We started off at 7.15am, it was quiet but then again they’re not particularly early risers here! Rode for two hours nice and steady, the beauties are ticking over nicely at 40kmph. We we...

Day one Fort Kochi - Puthanathani Launch at 11am Edwards high school fort kochi, it was bonkers at the school yard! Loads of people dressed up and finishing the pimping of their shaws! By far we were the best dressed (of course) we stood out like sore thumbs with our hippy clothes on, ross couldn’t walk tidy, he wasn’t grasping that mum didn’t make the trousers with a seam down the middle haha! The weather was boiling, the sun was piercing and the humidity...
