The Dreaded Delhi Belly Strikes!

Ricky Martin did warn us not to eat in the "restaurant" we picked in Khajuraho, but his suggestion of Italian food didn't seem quite right either.

So Mark took one for the team and spent the entire night keeping Tom awake!!!! GGRRRRrrr.....yes that is a distinct lack of sympathy....I need my sleep!

Luckily we only had 329km to do that day, in surely the hottest day, with Mark utterly dehydrated and worse than useless in the back of the Tuk Tuk! On the plus side the roads were cracking, minor on the map but good tarmac for a change and great views alond the way. With an offer of some black bananas we made friends with some local monkeys....needless to say they didn't share them.

Spent the night at Bheraghat, Marble Rocks just west of Jabalpur. After abandoning Mark to the hotel room, Tom went off with another team "Paint It Black" to get a boat ride up the river to some waterfalls through a marble canyon. Rather picturesque, and using rather a lot of imagination could just about make out all the animals and faces in the rocks pointed out by the guide. Nodding and feigning comprehension covered the rest. Saw a real water snake.
