We woke up an hour before our alarm would’ve gone off. We pack our stuff and go down for breakfast. The guide shows up and takes us on our journey, however, he left right before the first one. The driver takes us an hour and a half away from the city to the top of […]

The alarm goes off at 5 am. We have a flight to catch. I call an uber and we make our way. The first thing that happens is that we spend an hour in the check-in line, and then we get McDonald’s, some paint, a puzzle book, and brushes, and clay. The day before we […]

We slept in, as we slept till we naturally woke up at 8 am. Grabbed breakfast, grabbed our stuff, and went to our rickshaw. We found a mechanic who diagnosed our rickshaw, there was something wrong with the piston and it would cost 3000 rupees to fix. That is about 50 American dollars. We decided […]

We woke up with every intention to make it to the finish line by early afternoon. We could not start the rickshaw. The spark plug was broken and some random Indian had come and help us. Finally, we got on the road. Everything was going smoothly until the spark plug just completely stopped working and […]

I think that Antoine is afraid of my driving. I drove the second half of our journey to Udaipur this morning and once we got off the highway and into the city, he kept telling me that I was too close to the left side of the road. After all, I did graze a motorcycle. […]

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. […]
