In the second half of the story of hitchhiking to India, Tom Thumb takes us through looking for Sufis in Kurdish Iran, driving through police roadblocks in Pakistan, eating melons on the top of trucks in the mountain, being threatened by a Sikh warrior with a sword in India and bouncing along pot-holed roads down to Goa.
The full journey can be read about in his book: Hand to Mouth to India
