The home stay last night was pretty ropey and the food for evening and breakfast a joke.
10 mins out from the homestay I stopped and had a coffee, 1st one since being here.
The route was georgeous. People were amenable. Such a good ride and after yesterday I felt good the legs were even moving.
Through coffee plantations, past tea plantations, the full array of morning and afternoon beverages.


I rode past a temple and stopped to look round, a guy gave name a chocolate which was not the most pleasant of tastes.


The road today was particularly broken up and the pounding my sensitive bits got was unimaginable, but the moment I got back on to proper road the traffic increased and the level of horns went up and the near misses multiplied 10 fold. Give me a rough ride any day.
I asked for Veg fried rice at lunch but got French Fries, but they were nice.
Then I rocked into a home stay, bed no shower, use a bucket, still charged me a grand though (I suppose it’s OK about a tenner). It seems the husband and all his cronies are coffee plantation owners.

They all turned up at about 5pm and proceeded to play cards till 10pm. That’s why I am writing this so late. But I did go out for the best meal I have had yet.
