Wednesday 26th Oct

Wednesday Devali 26th 
Woke at 9 am. Alan and I put the two bikes from the UK together, so that should have made 4 in total. Only the Brit bikes work, both of Andrew's local bikes are broken - stripped threads.  All the locals are staring at our bikes as Andrew and I pedal to the local ATM about 2 miles away. Lots of sights, like their waste management, are best not described. At a
local restaurant had a great snack, I however did not eat the partly cooked fried egg. Andrew choffed  it down in the  blink of an eye. It is so  amusing to see Andrew ordering food with the locals, who are very helpful but hardly understand him.  Then to the furniture shop- Andrew was going to buy 2 rough old tables for £23 each, the trader said they were new. I burn stuff like that. We eventually settled on some new plastic chairs and a table for the roof terrace. Then back to KR. About 14:00 the rest went off to the local golf club leaving me to baby sit KR and sort out and pay the delivery guys. Very taxing when you cannot speak or understand their lingo. The golf club they went to this afternoon must after been a grand place as Michael Schumacher was there.
A Devali night, fireworks all around KR. Then about 10 pm we all took it in turns to light a firework. The finale being a 2 metre jumping jack. This was not mentioned on the risk assessment. Old Delhi tomorrow. The adventure continues.
