Itinerary description
|
The first half of today's stage is a delight. We went up and down a port on a new road crossing a forest with huge trees. There is a lot of humidity, but we can climb well. We take a hellish jam in Touli with walking, motorcycles, people, dogs and cows. For some minutes we can not move. From then on, the day gets complicated. I drop the bike and we must repair the clutch lever. We continue forward. The problem of the final part is the orientation. The GPS makes us some strangers, we do not know very well if by map or coverage failures (although we carry the downloaded maps). This happens twice in Nadu and Jaunli. In this area the road is very bumpy and patchy, full of bathtubs. The last port is the most technical we have found. The descent is by a stone path with large slopes that must be done with great care. The thing is complicated when we find large barrizales in which if you step you sink to the knee. The fall comes again. I can not lift the bike alone and I have to help the people of the town. We finish the descent slowly, because we already know that we did not reach the beer shop, which closes the sis. We are very tired.
The tracks are from start to finish with stops, which are usually 10 minutes and a couple of photos, or a fruit store.
Beware of GPS.
