Day 9, the road to Siuri

After leaving so early we managed to get a good number of miles on the speedo. Hindered only by road surfaces, we wound our way through valley after valley, each dryer than the last, the very impressive irrigation that the farmers work so hard to construct do very little when there simply isn't enough rain to fill thier resivour ponds and lakes, the locals are literally washing in stagnant water, washing their clothes seems almost a waste of time. There are others who came down just to go to the toilet in the pond and crap in it. Crap dozenst even come close to the state of the roads today though. We crossed 2 diggers who were chipping away at the top layer of concrete in order It seems to avoid having to import hardcore for the next layer they simply leave the rubble on the road and allow poor folk like us to road roll it in. There must have been 8-9km of hardcore on the road, rendering our Tuktuk with a slight disability over the lorries and 4x4s, the only other vehicles to chance it. The Road into Siuri was small, poorly laid and had a keeper, he lept in front of us demanding 10Rbs(8p) which we paid with out question seeing as the local cars in front did the same. Just 500m into the village and we fell upon a glass clad building resembling a hotel, which as luck would have it was in fact a hotel. But to us it more than a hotel, it had a super clean reception the rooms were large, clean and even had gratis flipflops to use. (which james still has) the beer was served super cool and the food menu looked delightful. Not long out of the shower and 2 more teams had found our MGM grand and we now had 3 beautiful tuktuks displayed outside the hotel as a calling card. The food was just as good as the menu.the best chilly chicken and chicken tikka I've ever eaten. All for under £15. Including accommodation and beers. Thank you Bequest Hotel, may your chain spread far and wide through india.
