GANGTOK!

We made it!!
Arrived at the finish line yesterday midday to an overwhelming welcome party, just for us of course.
We found out last tuesday, the day after we drove through Chhattisgarh, that it's not quite the safest place to drive through at night. The next few days were a bit of a blur of heat and dust.
Early thursday morning we began heading towards Kolkata, and over dinner that evening decided a long night drive was an excellent idea. Hit Kolkata at around 1am, after an hour of getting lost we gave up and paid a drunk taxi driver to show us the way out.
A few more hours of driving and falling asleep at the handle bars, slept in someones front garden in our fantastic tent. Woken at half 5 but some incredibly confused and intrigued locals.

More to come, and pictures too, a little recovery time is needed.
Couldn't have had a better time with 5 incredibly fantastic people and two of our favourite rickshaws.
