The problem with Indian “continental breakfasts” is that it’s mostly traditional Indian food. Therefore almost everything is spicy. Only bread, butter, hard-boiled eggs, and the fruits tend to be not spicy. This morning there were some fried cheese and corn puffs, both of us were very excited to get those. Antoine ate his one first […]

We started the morning with breakfast and going to the rickshaw to find that it is still dead, so after breakfast, we went down to jumpstart it. It was pouring rain and we were going to attempt to push the rickshaw up the little slow of a parking lot. Luckily, a bunch of staff members […]

We still managed to breakdown today, and we only Ubered around Mumbai the whole day. Our light was on all last night so the battery is dead. So we have to figure out how to get it starting again tomorrow morning. This morning and last night are just about how much I can handle this. […]

Today Antoine wore his t-shirt inside-out for the whole day. Our day was from 5 am to 9 pm. The original plan was to wake up early and go to an animal sanctuary, unfortunately, it was closed for monsoon season. So we drove on the highway and nothing happened until about 4 pm. Sunset is […]

Just when we thought nothing else could go wrong, our rickshaw decided that it didn’t want to go up hills or over 30kph. We had to go back to the camera store and get a new lens, but first, the rickshaw needed to be diagnosed and treated. Driving down the highway we see a mechanic […]

We had every intention to sleep this morning, however, we have been waking up so early every day that we woke up naturally at 8 am. At this point, Antoine found one of the wall plugs and we began charging his phone right away. He put the solar panel charger outside so maybe we could […]

We started our day with a nice continental breakfast and some of this amazing lychee juice drink. During the drive, on the highway, I decided that we should see the pretty parts of India, not just the highway. I told Antoine to make a turn inland and we found ourselves in a forest. At one […]

The alarm goes off at 5:30 am this time around, the sun isn’t even up yet. We pack up everything and head down to our little rickshaw. The morning haze was calming. A security guard watches us curiously watches us pack everything, he even helps us a little bit. So I got a picture of […]

We woke up bright and early at 7:15 am, dragged our outfits to our rickshaw, and prepped it for the start off of the Rickshaw Run. Many problems occurred during this time, including not being able to start the rickshaw. Luckily, we weren’t the last to leave. We got out of the field, waved goodbye […]

We woke up late. Turns out that the alarm did go off, but Antoine decided to snooze it and no one heard the second alarm. Thanks, Antoine. We rushed back to the rickshaw auto shop to get the parts that were supposedly shipped in today. Seems like the shop owner knew that a ton of […]
