Well lads n ladies arrived safe n sound into India, stayed in Amriisar for a few days made the phone call to me gran, and then started to head south. For anybody who has never rode in India its a bloody nitemare. Trying to avoid other road users, camels, cows, beggars and anything else that moves on this earth. No body obeys any sort of rules of the road, tractors coming the wrong way down the overtaking lane of motorways, its like a video game with only one life.
Dehli was crazy, stayed just outside it. But had to go through it to go south and ofcourse i got lost !!! feck me did i laugh
Had to ride like the locals and turn arround and ride the wrong way down a six lane road, got to a hospital and rode right through the middle of it, now i mean right through the middle of it cripples to the left of me cripples to the right, feck me it was mad, cut across the grass and was finally back on the right road heading south for Agra where the Taj Mahal is.
Agra is another traffic, beggar and tout mad house, but had to go and see the Taj and to be honest it was OK (but thats me not really into that sort of thing)
Decided I had to get out of these real tourist place and find some where not as bad, and thank the Lord ive found Orchha (the hidden place)
So this is where i intend to spent Christmas and maybe new year, i am sitting writing this over looking the river with temples all around, staying in a cheap wee hotel 4euros a nite with clean sheets, western WC and a TV lads i am in heaven.
So just to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
on the road
