hard beds, strong winds and undulating - feel the burn

second day cycling (day 4 of the tour)

Exodus we all have to tell you: you need to do better on the second hotel! Beds were superfluous as they were so hard we may have well slept on the floor. This after the first day of riding 90k so sore and still jetlagged was unwelcome.

At least the day went better from there!!! On the upside the weather was overcast and quite fresh which we all welcomed in place of the high heat and humidity we feared. On the downside we had cross winds ...

In India on Wednesday there is the small matter of a cricket game. Some are saying it is literally a matter of life or death and that it will affect millions of people. They are right; at mid-day the coin will be tossed to decide who will try to defend India's history and heritage. The marquis is up, the menu completed, the Singha chilled. The competition will be fierce, many people will support the game and others forced to endure the deafening commentary as the local school in Bandhavgarh trie...

Ship's log: 13 March 2011 - We ended with a pot of gold

On February 27 over a hundred people boarded the gently angled gangway of the Akademic Ioffe.

Ship's log: 10 March 2011 - Tomorrow we will sight land

It is imperative that this dubious literary bolt is not fired early; some adjectival powder must be kept dry for the Nautical finale tomorrow night. Today, however has not been without incident. The Drake rumbled beneath the hull, rogue waves crashing into the sealed superstructure. This is the most fickle stretch of water on the planet and as waves mounted the bow it was sobering to think that the Drake was still not real...
