Anoop sends me already eticket for next trip so I´ve to speed up
uploading the photo´s of the previous one:

 

Wednesday, 22. november 2017 – after breakfast

Morning routine: Assembling  (in front of Hotel),

 

loading the truck and

getting into line for take off:

Just a short trip and we had tea-time!

Just a short tea-time and we were on the road again

We stopped at this hydroelectric power station but couldn´t get in

Next stop – want to have a look around

our parking facility? 

Want to follow the cow?

 

Bag empty – cow looking out for a new food source

 

 

Want to take a quick peep behind the curtain?

But back to the cow: she now favours another member of our group

The only reward is a „selfie“

 

There is no doubt our parking place is a real facility: bus stop

taxi stop

and eating house with

with enough seats

 

Satanic mechanic having a rest ?! – Only a short!

First talk

than a phone call

and at least our „all-you-need-truck“ catches up

And soon he is on duty again…

As always he succed and therefore

our asphalt-eating-road-trip continues this day:

 

I got a bad feeling on my bike and short after we stopped

for fuel: thank god! – My back wheel lost air and the pump wasn´t the solution!

As you can see above  and below my bike was in best hands:

 

NO really – my bike is „bottled“ with fuel and

 

filled up with oil

while satanic mechanic repairs/changes my flat tyre!

 

Really

he sometimes uses a tool

in addition

to his magic hands!

This time two hands weren´t enough and therefore he had a self-proclaimed apprentice

 

Ready: Repair is finished and bike is

taken for a test-drive!

See the question in his eyes? – Here my answer: YES I´m very IMPRESSED – it was ONLY a 15min repair!!!

While I got my bike repaired she got flowers

 

While my bike is on test ride the others prepare

for leaving  – And no, that´s not the only use for a mirror at handlebars of a bike !

Today a lot of „Street-View“

Another street STOP

to get the group together and

to change information with phone and

without phone and 

 

to make photo´s with readable message   – As you can see we´re downhill and

10min later most of us are uphill

 

at a rest area:

 

or

was it a playground?

But we´ve to pay attention and give signal to rest of our group:

Even the last got a chance to rest

 

 

before

 

 

 

the road call us again

 

 

The sun is getting down but you see the Sleepwell arrow?!

More street to ride on

and first time I see him wearing a jacket for driving but

after some more km on the road everything had the color of his jacket for even some more km:

 

I was glad to have a bike with frontlight but these two – or rather three counting the legs – hadn´t …

Apropros numbers:
between first picture and last one above are 11 hours – the difference in km my odometer doesn´t tell me…

The place we stayed I´ll show you the next day when sun is back
