after travelling here for the better part of 2 weeks I think we have come to the overall conclusion that the bigger cities are to be avoided at all costs. All of the bigger cities we have been to are pretty much the equivalent of times square circa 1982...In other words, hell on earth. outside of the big cities however we have found remarkable places each with their own character that regardless of the ups and downs has given back more to us that it has taken- for this we are extremely grateful. The town of Nellore that we have found ourselves in currently has proven to be such a place and we may in fact wind up here an extra day as the opportunities for photographs and filming may prove to be too rich to ignore.
Although it appears some teams may have already made their way to darjeeling at this point, and although I know if we simply gunned it on the major highways we could make it there ourselves I think our experiences here in India will far surpass those who have simply seen the country blurring past them on the interstate.

Your latest post simply reaffirms the most cliche of cliches... In life, it is about the journey, not the organisms that crawl up your peehole.
Ah, truly as long as a good time was had by all then to each his own on the individual experiences of the rally. You missed out on sleeping underneath the open sky in front of a petrol pump and also the thrill of driving off the cliff at the end of HWY 5. Also the looks on the faces of the local peoples of Darjeeling as we brought the first ever rickshaws up the mountain were truly priceless. Big love from the world record holder Rajasthan Raiders.
