Day 6 saw us leave Bhimavaram on a mammoth 420km session to Srikakulam. We started at 0630 but left with what sounded like a loose exhaust. We tried to tighten the mount bolts but bolt had sheared so we wired it in place and cable tied it just be sure. We hit the road and by midday had coverd over 250km. We ran our reserved tank out of fuel and had to break open the jerry can. This caused the filter to block as we must have had dirt in the tank. After a testing half hour we had her purring once again.
Midday afternoon saw us happen upon a convoy of 4 Rickshaw Runners, berdoning them with our company 5 rickshaws all rolled into the town of Srikakulam. One of our now 10 strong group spoke Hindi which saw every happen in doble quick time. No wonder their convoy was so big! A great night we shared, till the locals in the bar started to get drunk and annoying uncontrolable. The bank manager of the city took a massive dislike to one of the girls in our group bringing her drink outside while she smoked. James turned this chap on a six pence nd had him almost eatingn out of this hand. He insisted in ruining our evening anyway so we headed for bed early so we may visit the Sun temple, of which there are only 2 and this was apparently here best. and it was insisted its best to go at dawn (5am) when the sun aligns with one of the gods... We'll see
Mosquito bites - 2
Cockroaches - 1

they took a massive shine to Zoe the teacher
Our first fellow racers seen for 7 days
pulled over by an entire collage of students
over whelming to say the least
they took a massive shine to Zoe the teacher
this reminds me of a Benny Hill scene
