Wild Monkeys on the road from Bangalore to Madras
Exactly 10,000 miles from Trafford Park Manchester to Madras India. Up early had a good run from 170 miles outside Bangalore, the climate and the landscape looked English and was comfortably cool. Then after Bangalore it gradually got hotter and more like desert again. Till finally in Madras its like being in a wet oven. Fallen trees across the road from a bad storm last night, which we missed. Families of monkeys by the roadside still. Rad on LD leaking slightly. Staying at YMCA 6r per night, expensive but good washing facilities. Ate out at night had the most ridicules meal yet and it was expensive too. Second day, 600 miles from Goa. Complete change. Find out about shipping tomorrow.
