Arrived.....

Chandra is fine but I developed an abscess on my right leg. At first I ignored it mistaking it for the pain I get from the arthritis in my knees but in Raipur it opened up in the shower with lots of puss and the whole leg was red, swollen and throbbing. I tried to ride to Babra, one day from Pushkar but gave up in a village half way where various other dramas occured which I lack the clear-headedness to describe now. The main thing is we managed 300kms in 10 days (one day of which was a rest day) and Chandra suffered no weight loss, no saddle sores, no cuts (save some over-reaching) and his legs are fine and free from windgalls or splints. He is now happy in TOLFA and I'm in a hotel, although I feel like I'm missing a limb and completely lost without him nearby. I'll write up more later.
