I’ve been driving for nearly 60 years in all types of situations. After watching today’s video, I must say: Marianne, you did outstandingly well the past two episodes. Also, I am now convinced that I would not want to drive in India.

@laieiZ8265 23 дня назад

Some people say :"if u can survive driving in India, u can drive anywhere else in the world." Love your video..

@TREADtheglobe 13 дней назад

Thank you !!

India is a very large country, with a billion people, different cultures, languages, climates, geographies. You both are so lucky to be able to travel this ancient country.

@marialentz1137 23 дня назад

No mention of stopping to eat. Did you not eat that whole drive? Kudos Marianne, you deserve as award. I was nervous for you.

You guys are mental driving in India

How to make India look drab and boring.

@vivienogden9916 22 дня назад

Visited and drove in India in 2011, no paper maps then either and a marked absence of road signs, happy chaos, what a great trip you’re having.

@luonajgarroutte212 22 дня назад

That traffic and all the horn honking would drive me bonkers. 😆

@user-uf2lm6tk2h 23 дня назад

It's a great pleasure to see your adventures. I travelled around in India back in the 80s but to my surprise, just found out that there is no improvement at all on the traffic system over the years. Take care and continue your great adventure.

@tokuo0511 18 дней назад

some indian might disagree what you have say and tell you : after all those year's the trees has grows taller

@Gopinathk17 9 дней назад

No comparison at all from 80s. Totally changed. In 80s we hardly had any highways. Today India has more than 100k miles of highways and expressways, most of them are built after 1995. Target is to complete another 50k KMs of new expressways by 2037. Watch some youtube videos about Indian highways.

@michellemclaughlin7630 23 дня назад

Marianne, you are the most confident woman ever! In every way! You are so impressive. And you are right, you deserve a metal (a T-shirt at minimum) for your driving skills in India.

@juanitanielsen6776 23 дня назад

Marianne you need a T-shirt that says I survived driving in India! I was glad I was in a large bus when I was there. You are an excellent driver

@keangwooichoo6138 23 дня назад

As I hv suggested. Drive very early in the morning. Cooler, no traffic, less stressful.

@peterhodgson7674 23 дня назад

I've just watched your video when you were returning to your hotel after picking up Trudy. I've been driving hgv trucks for nearly 50 years and wonder if I would manage to do that journey in the manner you displayed. To keep your cool in such a vibrant and chaotic environment was inspiring. I probably said 'wow' half a dozen times., I am in awe Marion. Safe future travels.

Growing up as a kid in the 1960s and 70s my mother always drove with my father in the passenger seat and all the kids in the back. She liked to be in control❤

My husband and I watch you every Sunday morning while we eat our breakfast before going to church. He said this morning that he thought we may have nervous breakdowns by the time you get through India. Please be safe.

@daveshongkongchinachannel 23 дня назад

The old looking taxis you mentioned were made from 1957 until 2014. Originally Morris, they were sold to India in the 1950s and remained largely unchanged over the years. At one time that's pretty much all you saw on India's roads until more modern cars started to enter the market. I recall seeing a lot of Suzukis back in the mid-90s when I was there. Also 60s and 70s Vauxhalls. I will never forget the ten days I spent there and watching this really makes me want to go back there and just throw myself in the middle of all that wonderful chaos.

@gregrodrigues5453 13 дней назад

Correct the Morris was known in India as Ambassador. Built like a battle tank. It died a natural death when Suzuki, Hyundai, Honda etc entered the market. But I heard that Ambassador is going to be re launched with a more sporty look

@lauraguerra6450 23 дня назад

A badge sounds unfair, a trophy maybe? A gold medal? A spa day after every drive? Haha. India is mad and amazing. As long as you have fun and follow the flow you’ll be alright.

@mikew5508 23 дня назад

@mariamaru9972 23 дня назад

India is just mad. It doesn't matter how amazing the historical relics or untouched nature are, if everything is buried in dirt, noise and air pollution, it is unhealthy for mind and body to visit this country.

As Carl Jung said "India gave me my first direct experience of an alien, highly differentiated culture. Altogether different elements had ruled my Central African journey; culture had not predominated. As for North Africa, I had the opportunity there to talk with a person capable of putting his culture into words. In India, however, I had the chance to speak with representatives of the Indian mentality, and to compare it" with the European. I

@jamesstevens2591 22 дня назад

What a treat watching the two of you driving through my favorite country. So full of life and so refreshing to watch people out and about enjoying themselves or going about their business. Whether on foot, auto, bicycle, horse cart, bus or what have you it’s organized chaos at its best. Brava and bravo to the two of you for staring in the video, crossing of India by road. What a marvelous experience. Anxiously awaiting your next episode. Happy Holi.

@josh_bfc_2769 23 дня назад

Tremendous driving from marriane. Chris you still can't get comfortable in the passenger seat. You need to relax, marriane has got this. Great video, and what a great experience you're having Looking forward to the next one 👍

Looking forward with great expectations ( thank you Mr. Dickens !) fo the rest of your Indian journey, for now enjoy your well deserved rest 🙏🏻🕊

@speakagainstwrong543 23 дня назад

BE CAREFUL when driving through small town or highways cutting through villages because the Tractors carrying harvest or hay suddenly come in front of you from small muddy roads intersecting the highway. Usually avoid driving after 15:00 hrs on highways because of the reason I explained. In big cities you will not face this.

@nandishhegde9025 23 дня назад

@biddiemutter3481 23 дня назад

You're being very calm and brave here. There seems to be less sense of a multi-ton vehicle bearing down on one with a limited stopping (breaking) distance here! Absolutely terrifying to watch, but I am grateful for the 2nd hand experience... and to know that you survived to upload!

You drove all that way, including all those mad crazy streets and you didn’t stop once for food 🥘 why? I held my breath all the way through this video and breathed a sigh of relief once you got to your destination safe and sound. Also I missed the sight seeing due to the fact, I KEPT MY EYES PEELED ON THE ROAD, and now I’m flipping starving. 😂 Marian, you are a super super driver for sure 👌 love you two. ❤

@veronicav1779 23 дня назад

@21.39 I'm glad you clarified you were out of Kolkata here. Very unclear where you were if you had left the city , I heard another 'town ' or 'village' being mentioned, would be great if the videographer could just mention how far approx you've driven and the town or village you are driving through would add another dimension of clarity and interest! Great videos and the driver deserves a trophy for her driving.

@NigelMartinhome 23 дня назад

Travelled a lot in India. Lived for a year once. I absolutely love India. Takes a while to get over the shock and just float with India’s crazy mystical life… looks like it shouldn’t function but it does. It’s hilarious and horrific, heaven and hell. A trip to India is so intense it feels like a lifetime. But… I not once considered driving… I admire your courage! Enjoy the wonder of India! Pity you aren’t going farther north to the Himalayas. You’ll probably miss all the amazing places to see… All the best! Fun videos! I’ve never heard OMG said so many times! 😂👍

It looks like everyone wakes up every morning & immediately heads out to walk, pedal or drive on the road. No one stays home or sits anywhere. Kudos once again. I would never be able to drive there. I thought Peru was crazy, but this is much much more chaotic.

@jericho1961 22 дня назад

That should be a 2 night stay. 1 night to recuperate from this crazy drive and a 2nd night to rest up for the next day's drive. If this was a book, I'd be skipping to the end to see if you all make it out in one piece. The suspense is intense!

I feel like that first night driving to the hotel from the docks with that car ahead of you, was a proper tutorial on how to 'drive like an Indian'. After that drive, nothing should faze you... That said, there are moments where I feel you have censored out a few expletives. @16:30. Also those folks walking in the road with their backs to oncoming traffic possibly expect you to bleep, so don't be afraid to toot that horn. @33:04 "You take me to the best places" LOL. @34:27 You were so close too.
