My Summary – Part V
OK this summary is turning into a lenghtier series than Freddy Kruger …
All in all we had a great two weeks. It was tough at times and easier than expected at others. We were expecting our rickshaw to break down at every turn but it didn’t. Not once. Having said that … we didn’t see any broken down rickshaws. This Bajaj company needs to expand outside of India and take over Alpha Romeo.
There were so many little things that happened that I have neglected to mention, funny little things like Manon running over a man on a bike, me crashing into a wall (on purpose) to see if rickshaws need seatbelts, crashing a Goan/French wedding with two of the biggest Russian bruisers you have ever seen backing us up (including a gorgeous Russian beauty), me having a battle with Delhi Belly on the beach eventually having to rush into the ocean … and somebody battling the dreaded disease in the tent *cough cough*, meeting a beggar who professed to have one arm until we lifted up his shirt to find a second arm (which he then lifted up and let drop to his side trying to convince us it didn’t work).
So many small things that we forget but that crop up at random intervals to amuse us. Once we get our hands on the video footage a lot should come rushing back to us …
All in all we are proud of our achievment and want to thank all of those who donated and helped us to raise almost £1200 for The Prince’s Trust. A massive thank you to MeanAndGreen.com, Blacks.co.uk and SimplyHike.co.uk who supplied us with some much needed gear and we would not have lasted five minutes without their generous donations.
The picture below is an example of the many stalls that you will find that litter the streets in India. Is it any wonder that we got Delhi Belly after consuming a TASTIOMELET. Oh no wait … IT WAS A WHAT!!!
Testi Omlet? Are they sure? Is that legal?
