India

Written by on Thursday, April 23, 1970

First puncture of the trip, just before Indian frontier, cost 2 rupee. Total spent in  Pakistan was 120 rupees = £10. Lahore was a terrible looking place, dirty, the main form of transport is horse drawn rickshaws. The driving is also a bit chaotic. We had no trouble crossing the frontier as we expected, took a little hash through to, It was a vast change into India, the frontier guards were spick and span with their kaki uniforms and turbans with Black plumes and Red plumes. But I imagine it will deteriorate the further into India we go. The road is a single lane tarmac one, the oncoming traffic seem to take it for granted its us that will stop or pull over. Weve seen Parrots and Peacocks in the wild also Minor Birds, at the rest houses ( Dak Bungalows) we’ve stopped at luminous Fire Fly’s buzz about,  Mosquitoes are really bad too we’ve all been bitten to pieces. Met bloke at frontier CYCLING to England from Kathmandu.
