Road Conditions

Some of the roads are wonderful and some are horrible. That is the thing about doing this trip by cycle: we hate it and we love it and we want to give up and we never want to stop. Our journey from Honey Valley to the coast of Kerala had some of the worst road conditions but the best scenery. I took a video of Monica dodging the minefield of potholes (link, 3.7 MB).


In the morning hours and the late afternoon, we are happiest because it is cool and we sometimes sing songs while we ride.


The rice farmers harvested quite a lot of rice and have piled it wide on this lorry. These Indian men can be quite friendly (note the arms around my waist!).


Not all of the transport on these roads are motorized.
