Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 is cycle touring in India on Wednesday, 26th-October-2016. Lalipur to Jhansi. 65 miles. Nice breakfast at the hotel this morning, a cup of tea and some dry bread! Still, it’s more than I normally get. I usually have to get something on the street on the way out of town, which is usually puffed rice and is always tasty!
Every day, I get asked to stop for a cup of chai, and usually, I decline because if I stopped every time somebody asked me, I’d never get anywhere! But sometimes I do, and today I did just because I was bored!
It was one of those occasions where the man didn’t really want to make conversation. He probably finds it as tough going as I do! He’s just pleased to have you in his place drinking tea.
Nearly ended up cycling straight past Jhansi today. I was just following the road, thinking that there would be a turn-off soon. But there wasn’t, well there was, but it was a bit inconspicuous and not signed. But luckily, I spotted it or rather not, and had to cycle back to find it.

Nice mileage! Did they persuade you to buy a carpet?
No it’s not like Turkey where everybody you meet seems to want to sell you one!
