Chennai – Naidupeta - 118 km
The following morning, Ernest and I set out and headed north along
the highway (I never learned). The road was in excellent condition,
and a slight tailwind made for good progress. The Indians were
generally fascinated by our travels, and a newspaper reporter
interviewed us again.
I was excited about my decision to cycle to Nepal. An overland trip
from Cape Town to Kathmandu had always appealed to me, but I
never contemplated doing it on a bicycle.
