.:: Delhi to Dehradun ::.

We woke up bright and early to head out of Delhi and onto Dehradun
Our language city.

Levi was perched at the window and ready for all the sights and sounds we would take in on our 6 1/2 hour trek :)



As we drove, there were so many amazing sights to see and modes of transportation to observe all on the same road.
I wished that I could somehow capture it all to share with you, but the only way to soak it all in is for me to pick you guys up and set you down right beside me to take it in.

Since I can't do that- here is a small attempt to see some modes of transportation
through our eyes:

Some would walk from here to there:
(Look closely- it is unreal how much these people can carry on their head.
I observed one woman with a HUGE bundle of sticks tied together and balanced on her head as she carried off to her home)

Motorcycles and scooters are very popular.
As you can see- it can even transport entire families:

Other amazing feats on a motorcycle: one man driving while another man sits behind him and balances a 3ft by 4ft mirror in between them...
which means: both hands balancing the mirror and no hands to balance himself through the constant slowing down and speeding up~ I often find myself truly amazed here... it's pretty neat

Horse & buggy or Ox & Buggy are a common way of transporting goods:
They seem to not be as concerned with how fast it gets there, but only that it gets there.
Thus, they often LOAD these guys down.

A great example of LOADED to the MAX:
All the while there are huge busses and trucks wizzing by- and it doesn't even phase them!

Tractors pulling trailers:
(A bit more of a contained load... but can you believe how full they fill these puppies?
You could barely see the wheels on some of them)

A few others found on the trip but not pictured:
Auto Rickshaws
Bicycle Rickshaws
Busses (with some rockin' horns- haha)
Cars
Oil tankers- if you look close in some you will spot these in the background.

Brunch Break:
We stopped about 10:00AM at this really nice McDonald's that seemed very randomly located in the middle of nowhere :)
We all enjoyed some delicious hot cakes & hashbrowns
plus I got a yummy cappuccino!
Mmmmm Mmmmm

Levi hung out with Papa and Ronald for a bit until our driver came back.

Levi & I enjoyed some snoozing in the back seat together as well :)

Our little wrestler has become quite a little cuddle bug these days-
He will wrap his little arms around our necks and just squeeze so so tight... we kind of LOVE it!
No worries- not all the time, he is still a wrestler at heart I think. haha.

Thanks for making the trek with us to our new city.
More Eggventures from our city to be shared soon....
