Ride with me #30 : Woes of the highway (Day 4)

[bikergirl]

Hey Steemit

I am often asked what are the hardships I face while riding alone. Well, let me tell you about today. The roads were bad and the weather wasn't kind. I rode for 7 hours for 350 kms from Vijayawada to Vishakhapatnam and there were no public toilets on the way. That's a hardship we women face everyday everywhere we travel in India. The struggle is real folks and even the jungle isn't an option when one is traveling alone.
On the upside, when I stopped to eat my prepacked lunch, a truck driver stopped to share his lunch with me. We didn't understand each other so we spoke in sign language and bonded over food. It was the tastiest meal I had.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more blogs
