Pilgrims Path

With a long way to travel we ventured out onto India's equivalent of the M1.

Things you see on an Indian national highway:

1) Tractors towing huge trailers of hay coming the wrong way up the fast lane.
2) Lorries doing 3 point turns on the highway.
3) People stopping in the fast lane to have a chat with someone else on the other carriageway.
4) Not working out you are on a contra-flow until you are faced with a police car hurtling towards you.
5) Mind numbingly boring driving....pretty much like UK motorways then, but still only at 50kph!

Our destination was Tirupati, which according to our guidebook is the most visited holy site in the world, attracting more visitors than Mecca or Rome. It was busy, and also the first place that we've been to that has a thriving tat market. Psychedelic tat at that.
