was day dreaming a bit today & got to thinking about a bike trip...figured I could buy a new Royal Enfield in India for circa $1600, then how to get home - then I remembered from ancient times the Silk Route between China & Europe...so I did a little inter-investigating & there was a trade route between India also - this branch of the Silk Route being more commonly known as the Pepper Route.

I plot the course of this route & figure it goes thru a lot of bandit country:

I may have to rethink this day dream....!
