Day 4

another unpredictable day. Had a great early morning start, high hopes of covering lots of ground. Made it a couple of hours and then she chugged to a stop. No hopes of restarting. A rickshaw driver/ guardian angel named Vinay pulled over and towed us 9km into town on a rope. Spent the next 4 hours at 3 different mechanics. Had new clutch rebuilt engine and cleaned carborator still with issues. Vinay drove us the next 40km to make sure we were okay, such a sweetheart! Still had some issues, annie contacted a colleague in Hyderbad who found us a licensed mechanic for our brand of rickshaw in the next big town which is where we are now. More scary night driving to reach the town. Hopefully she'll be a happy ellie in the morning!
