After the journey from hell, arrived a t Gangtok. Very picturesque place' but the road to get here 124km is nothing short of a dirt track, affected badly by the monsoon rains. the driver we hired to get us here quite obviously has a death wish! If i didnt know better i would think he was the recentley sacked from Top Gear driver The Stig, or a t the very least an indian relative of his. Sheer drops down into 300ft gullys with large boulders from the landslides in the middle of the road and the crackpot driver overtook every car, bike, lorry and bus on the road. Four and a half hours of white knucked ride that puts anything at Alton Towers to shame. At least i'm still alive.
Dumb and dumber, test drove the rickshaw yesterday, Shorty went first and within 1 minute i was hanging my leg out the tuk trying to steady it as the deans driving skills nearly toppled the magnificent machine onto its side. Tall went next and because of his extra long legs could nt actually fit his lanky frame to steer the tuk and use the brakes at the same time. Happless the pair of them.
Juksey is distributing his wealth by tipping every person he comes into contact with, he has some moral beliefs about redistributing the wealth between the haves and the have nots. Foolish in my book!
