When we took delivery of our Tuk Tuk we had 20 km on the clock....so we managed to cover 3924km on our journey! The Bombay Bucanneers (Ingo and Sam) and Spirit of Lassi (Fabien) arrived the following evening....having managed a very brief visit to Nepal (allowing for the cost of the visas, it cost each of them a dollar a minute for their visit!.....But they were still the only 2 teams to take the rickshaws out of India)
Following the arrival of the first teams there had been a party every evening - and things didn't change during our time there. Joey's bar has now hit the international scene as the place to be.
On the friday all the Rickshaws took place in a parade through Darjeeling (led by a brass band of which each member seemed to be playing a different tune). The procession ended in a school (most of the kids arriving on our rickshaws) where there were a few short speeches, further brass band action, traditional dancing and then another football match (the series ended a draw with one victory each)
