And they’re off and racing, up the main street of Colva that is! Now its just a leisurely drive up to Nepal, Arrrrghhh! –Fingers and legs crossed!
Day 1 of the Rickshaw Run and so far no one has called our hotline, we have managed to laugh ourselves silly and get completely covered in thick red coloured dirt.
Despite feeling like I needed to shower the entire day, I can say I really enjoyed my first day on the road with Shelly, Gordon and our rickshaw. starting from the sunny shores in Goa, where the beer was constantly served warm and the rays that turned our pale skins to pink, to the lush greenery of the Western Gaht mountains. It felt completely amazing and surreal to be driving in a rickshaw at 45kms an hr and seeing the beginning of our journey across India and Nepal.
Along with this awesome scenery that we discovered on our first day, Shelley and I happened to discover some of India’s finest wild life. Snakes, bats, monkeys and slugs, Note to selves not exactly a good idea to use the bushes along the roadside here as substitute dunnies. (toilets)
Finally after a long first day and 7 hrs of Gordon driving the rickshaw we decided it was time to pull in to a hotel in Belgaum for the night and retire until the morning.
Belguam- Busy, noisy and a big Indian city with lots of tiny stores about 150kms from Goa…. Interesting.
