WEDNESDAY 8TH DECEMBER, 1976 - Part One
"Left Delhi after a lot of fuss and milling about on the bus. Left Fred - he's going straight to Kathmandu.
Flags out at army barracks - perhaps for Hungarian PM. Countryside more barren - gullies and scrub. Then plain again - lots of camels, dusty countryside but with quite a few trees (pig shooting country).
Stopped at village - Shirely got onto a camel - huge amused crowd - all round the bus too, selling bananas. Saw mongeese at side of the road.

Lunch stop off the road - camels leisurely pulling carts and disappearing down paths lined with tall grasses. Watched busy paths of ants and ant hill where they were dragging bits of grass and taking grain and coming out with the husk. Chris put them into a state of disorganisation and crisis by digging a channel across their path (about quarter inch deep!)
Saw 3 bad accidents in the morning alone - all big trucks."
