Thanks to the mechanic who properly fixed our engine in vishakhapatnam team trukke trukke had two (finally) uneventful good days of driving and reached chandipur, a small town on the sea in the north of Orissa. By talking to the people at the tall stations we know that there are at least 4 teams ahead of us on the same road. Most probably the italian fellow team of "Curry Curry Guaglio'" is almost 1 day ahead while a french team and the british one are about 2 to 4 hours ahead. Also the hotel owner told us that the new zealand team was here yesterday. We are definitely behind but we stick to our motto "barcollo ma non mollo"...!
Tomorrow we have a big decision to make. We could either leave the highway before kolkata or drive through the city and take the road 34 which runs close to the bangladesh boarder. The former option will save us some kms but we would be driving on some pretty bad roads and dust or holes are not friends with the rickshaw. The latter option will give us better road but driving through kolkata (or even on the outskirts of the city) would probably be stressful and slow (but a lot of fun...). Then, we will start driving north towards Siliguri before finally turning east south/east towards Shillong.
