Day 120. Rudrapur- Bhimdatta
We only have about 95km to go today but with the roads and a border crossing anything could happen. We set off into the usual traffic and incredibly bad roads but then we saw a sign that said “ toll booth ahead”. We’ve been caught like this before, it doesn’t necessarily mean better roads but much to our astonishment it turned out to be a beautiful dual carriageway which apart from one unsceduled Tomtom detour took us almost to the border. Yippee. A few sights from the unscheduled detour. Really nice countryside. A few kms before the border we stopped in a town for snack and a drink, there was an electrical shop next door, the GPS tracker needed new batteries so I asked if they had any AAA batteries, we were invited to take a seat the man opened the device and sent one of his boys away, while we waited we were offered a glass of ice cold water which always makes us nervous but it looked fine. The lad arrived with batteries, the boss fitted them and we were on our way NZD 0.7...
