Imagine a place where all worlds, from all times, collide and sit down right next to each other. I'm talking everything: health, finance, infrastructure, spirituality, and social graces. India is such a place. Our route took us squarely through non-tourist northern India, domestic tourist center and some more touristy places on the coast. We have not seen all of India - but what I saw truly sticks in my mind as a place rich in diversity.

The Rickshaw Run of course is directly responsible for taking the non-tourist trail. Driving a Rickshaw is not for timid drivers. And non-tourist India is not for those who need mod-cons. However: there is only one word I can use to describe the whole saga: funny! (Some have suggested that I'm a little weird too though). If you're thinking about going on a similar event: do it...

Thanks for watching! Andrew out.

Here we sit, in Singapore's Changi Airport, enjoying free internet and western food, while we reminise over the last month in India and our epic adventure.

- After spending two weeks in a confined rickshaw with people, its cool for you to pee while they brush their teeth in the same bathroom. At least Chris thinks it is....

- Always bet on black. (Ohhh Wesley!)

- Driving a rickshaw is like being in the Mario Kart Nintendo game 

- There is a pecking order on the road in India Trucks are NUMBER 1, everything else should move out of the way.

- Driving on the opposite side of the road into oncoming traffic can sometimes be safer

- Town meetings in India are a regular occurance (right Kate?)

- No, someone didnt fart - that's just one of the many aromas of India.

- Avoid running red lights (only when Policemen are at the intersection right Chris?)

- Boys in scarves are hot (Amy's thoughts only)

- Too much Chai makes you....wait...there is never too much Chai

- Embrace the squat toilet people

- Bucket showers are your friend (only when they are filled with hot water and brought to your room by an Indian man)

- The quest for the best pancakes in India is still on, right Matthew?

- Go to Pokhara and eat at Pandey's

- Every type of pant should come in an Ali Baba cut

That will do us for now, we have to head off for our flight back to Sydney. More pics and reunion stories to come...

Chris and Amy

The team separated today.

Matthew, Amy and Chris have headed up to Dehli to explore more of Northern India. Kate and Brad will spend some hot and steamy days on the beach, Andrew is doing some hiking in the South Indian mountians.

Matthew, Andrew, Kate and Brad will reunite in Mumbai for some final curry before heading back to Sydney for Australia Day and multiple sausages.

Amy and Chris have another couple of days to ride camels (or get exchanged for them) before heading home on their own.

We will all come together some time in Febuary in Australia to use our newly learned Indian cookery skills (Matthew is the Chappati man!) and make a reunion dinner and share some photos.
