Day 132. Siliguri - Bongaigaon
We set off this morning in fine weather. We were expecting a slow ride out of town but it wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately we then ran into the road from hell, I have never seen so many trucks all crawling along over some of the worst roads ever. It was hot, dusty and diesel fumes thick in the air. I tried overtaking, undertaking, dirt tracks, mud tracks you name it just to keep moving. All jammed up trying to get round a corner and through the middle a motorbike sneaked through. The pot man. We stopped in a small town to use an ATM, when I came out there was Robyn, only identifiable by her pink T shirt absolutely surrounded by a large group of men all checking out the bike. Just as well we had this diversion as we had covered about 70km in three hours! It wasn’t fun and wrestling this heavy bike through the craters of the moon at such low speeds had my arms hanging out. Soon after this there was a sign directing the trucks away as there were unsafe bridges ah...
