Drivers Reunited - Blogabond

Trichy. Famous for a couple of temples. And for having the loudest sodding buses in the world. Our hotel was right near a major road and the sound of rumbling diesel engines and air horns was incessant. In the end my roommate Gary and I barricaded ourselves in our room armed with a bottle of rum, some pineapple juice, a few beers and some travel iPod speakers, a combination that did a marvellous job at blotting out the din. Though the 6am wake-up call the following morning was painful.

But at least driver Dan is a happy man. We've finally been reunited with co-driver Jim and the transmission part sent from the UK 3 weeks ago, he was in an air-con room, and Chelsea were playing on ESPN. Happy days.
