At the starting point...


Hi from Dean & Kat!

We're at the Pinewood Hotel in Shillong at the pre-launch party, listening to local Meghalayan music and drinking Kingfisher beer.

The rick looks awesome, with intricate painted picture from Alice in Wonderland.... we've both had a go at driving the beasties, we've got some bunny ears (white rabbit, obviously!) & assorted fluffy things for the start, and we have a vague route sorted which may involve Darjeeling, Varanasi and some tigers.

We've got all sorts of kit including a jerry can, spare spark plugs, replacement clutch plates, lights and various tools. Shame we lack an ounce of mechanical nous to do anything with them, though....

We get sent on our way by the Head Honcho of Meghalaya state tomorrow at 12.30pm....

PS--Kat is very excited by the 6ft caterpillar joining our rickshaw crew! :-)
