Day 6

We finally made some serious distance today, just over 450 kms! Although it took us 16 hrs on the road. We average around 35-45 km/hr (that's like driving in a school zone, about 20-30 mph) with top speeds around 60 km/hr. throw in potholes, train crossings, speed bumps, filling up the gas tanks, villages...it all slows you down! Nothing much to report today, we drove on the National Highway today which was pretty boring, but allowed us to cover a lot of distance so it was worth it in the end. Had a great dinner at a roadside dhaba after a chance run in with team Compass (less) Journey..it was so fun to see another team and swap stories for a bit, we haven't seen any other teams in over three days! Off to bed for another 6 am start!
