"honk! honk!"
whew! where to begin! so from the start our "Lady Jaqualine" aka "Team Zissou Sub-galore" was a bit of a wreck, breaking down every few kilometers. She finally had enough right before we entered Chennai luckily right infront of an auto repair shop. Double Glories! Needless to say it took two pistons and an entire engine rebuild not to mention an entire day to get her fixed. After that whole ordeal we had a lovely nights rest in a hotel room fit for a prince. We drove from 6am to 6pm and ended up here in Ogle? We only just now had our first meal of the day. Lets not do that again. We have checked into a lovely hotel that is fit for a prostitute or maybe a crack head, mysterious stains and smells come from every oriface but at least our rickshaw is running and we are all safe and sound. This part of India is so very different from the city. Wildlife surrounds us we were able to see wild monkeys, water buffalo bathing in the waters, and endless rice fields. It really has been incredible. Two high fives for Grant for driving through Chennai, Two for Mike for saying "yea, I can build one of these engines now", One high five to mark for not getting Dehli belly yet, and a high five to me for being able to take a two hour nap in the back of a rickshaw with two large dudes. We will keep you updated if we can find inter-web access, if not just know we are having one hell of an adventure. -britt
