Part 1 - The greatest worst driver in the world.....ever!

Oct 1
2 sides 2 2day - 6 hours in car mit nutter + 10 hours in midst of serenity - total extremes!

200 am to bed - 530 alarm head muzzy shower and away.

EVANMADAMUDAFUGA! driver crazee dog tries to get us killed on 3 hour trip to Alappuzha. I'm wired tired still finding everything funny - Overtake bus emergency stops so we can duck in front of Bus careening towards us miss by inches is met by stunned silence from others + giggles from me (happened more than once! - replace bus with lorry; car; motorbike; rickshaw etc...).....

180 minutes of meep meep; swerve; brake; eyeshuttingly bad driving - I actually felt like kissing the ground when we arrived.

Shame as the surroundings were truly fantastic - Beautiful people wearing colourful sari's; Truckstyle lorries all individually painted with graffiti like images; endless palm groves and forests of trees like i've never seen (i took all this in with a 2 second glimpse away from the near carnage terror that was the front windscreen!)......

Least the outbound trip was daylight - Return worse (some vehicles no lights!) + the darkness seemed to make idiot more excited - I AM AMAZED THAT NOBODY GOT HURT DURING THE MAKING OF THIS JOURNEY! - Didn't tip the cat when we got back, still in sense of shock when to bed hours later....
