Daily Disasters


The music went on till 1am last night. But still the relentless slarm went off at 6.45. I searched around for some food but coukd only find 3 easypeelers.

Energy company’s are the biggest employer in Hongsa. I was lucky to find a good supermarket close to the works.

I knew today was going to be another tough day with multiple climbs and excessive gradients.

11 am lunch was great

I salvaged a little pride back today.  Yes the gradients were brutal but really the 85kms were such a walk in the park after yesterday. But i managed to cycle and not get off and walk. The scenery was fantastic, but there were a fair few more vehicles on the road today.

I went out for my evening meal. The resturant had large tables and people are ‘forced to sit together. I like this relaxed style. Bringing people together, multiple conversations with different groups.
