Day 1, 2, 3 and part of 4...

Time constraints meant the bikes were transported to Gurgaon, in a container by a car carrier - a decision all of us would regret later...

The less said about Delhi, the better...


Yes, through the unbearable heat, we saw the Ba'hai temple, the Qutab Minar and the India Gate, and shopped in an air-conditioned underground market...


The sun was as visible at noon as a white light bulb in an open field at about the same time... The Nizamuddin station bus stop looked more like a dock, if you ask me... just over 2 days were spent there, and I was glad to leave it behind when we left on June the 4th. Having picked up our bikes, albeit with a few marks, scratches and rubdowns of the worst kind, we made our way from Gurgaon, back to Delhi, to catch the highway to Chandigarh. Ah, the beautiful open roads :)



Chandigarh welcomed us at midnight. We couldn't see any sign of accomodation, and road right through, because none of us were aware of the structural brilliance of the city. 3 roundabouts later, we were out of Chandigarh, blindly heading wherever the road would take us; in search of a place to spend the night. Come Highway Dhaba, and a kind owner who let us catch 40 winks for free, but only after we'd had a substantial dinner...
