Ahmedabad & Baroda

We arrived quite late in Ahmedabad and then had to drive to Baroda. It was about a 2 hour drive and driving at night in India is not pleasant. There are no lights and the traffic, particularly lorries are simply not roadworthy. A lot do not have lights at all and there is a great deal of horn pressing and light flashing to ensure the "passing" and "passee" drivers have seen each other. Quite simply, I would never drive in India...even our Indian colleagues have drivers!

One thing that did strike me about India is simply the amount of people. There are people everywhere. A simple two lane highway would have at least six lanes of traffic, there is no road discipline whatsoever and absolutely nowhere to park.
