The road to Rishikesh

Road trip!

Our trip to India freakishly matched the dates one of our good friends was visiting aswell! So, as good friends do, we hitched a ride with them up to Rishikesh for a couple of days!

Travelling is ALWAYS fun, but it’s so amazing when you can rekindle with really great friends for a couple of days and explore somewhere new together!!

Gypsy hasn't quite mastered smiling on cue yet!
The drive was mostly uneventful. It was a real luxury to be in a car after 2 months in a tuktuk!! 
We did find the "flora" interesting though...

Yes, that is what it appears to be. Weed, growing as a weed by the side of the road. And not just in one small patch either, for kilometres on end!! 

Picture
Apparently even though it grows wild, it is still illegal to chop it down and sometimes policemen will hide in it waiting for someone to try to!?! Indian logic at it's best.. There is sooo much, they could make a lot of hemp clothing or rope etc if they wanted to!
