Day 10

We had to make a game time decision this morning to bypass Varanasi since we didn't make it in as planned last night after our close encounter with a roadside ravine and well placed bush! Made it into Patna right at dusk and it was chaos on the streets. Handled it like a true rickshaw driver we've come far since our first days on the 'shaw! Countryside is still desert/farm land and pretty boring. Looking forward to getting back into the mountains soon. Huge splurge tonight on hotel. It is Annie's last night with us, she is flyinh back early for a wedding :( Had a dip in the pool and now off to a nice dinner. Three other teams are here too so maybe we'll all head out together...entering bandit territory tomorrow :/
