Taking a break, Rajasthan




We wish everyone a happy 2013


The friendly offer of a place to sleep turned out to be a storage shed filled with mice and old machines. It stank of oil and when our host gave us a stick to hit the rats that live in there, I knew I didn’t want to sleep inside. So we brought the two rope beds outside, pulled on all of our clothing and shivered the whole night through. Boy were we glad to see the sunrise the next morning!

A group of monkeys were inspecting our bikes when one of them spotted the mirror. He was fascinated by his reflection and managed to break the mirror off and take it away with him. Paul gave chase and via a surprise attack he managed to rescue my mirror.

Note to self – next time bring a tent.
