Race Day 6: Humpie to parts unknown
Money raise for charity: $1,254
Distance Traveled: 1700 km
Fender Benders: 4, whoops!
Near Death Experiences: 7… uh oh, we've stopped getting adrenaline rushes right before oncoming traffic nearly kills us
Delhi Bellies: 5
Having daily emotional breakdowns is easy near death experiences happen every few hours. Saying, "driving in India is a bad idea" is flagrant & dramatic understatement. The experience is akin to going the wrong way during the running of the bulls… while on a tricycle… and unable to understand the locals who are yelling survival tips… or cursing at you. Tension in the group is high.
To make things interesting our battery decides it no longer likes our company makes a run for it. After wiggling itself loose and dropping out the bottom of our Rickshaw it somersaults off the side of the roadto freedom.
After replacing the renegade battery we cheerily (bit o' sarcasm there) keep on trekking.
Quotes of the day,
David, "I'll try to get that on film next time we're about to die"
Chris's follow up, "That could be really soon"
