The first thing to see when I opened the front door, was a day break spectacle that made me say “Oh my god!” So, there might be more in the picture than meets the eye. I post it 2x, the original photo and an edited version.
(and – which is the original?!)
I again felt good in the morning temperature and didn’t want to stop for a while. But then there was this crab and I had to stop!
After that however, I went on and on until I got hungry enough. Enough for what? Well, I was going with an average of 22 km/h and that reminded me on a record Mr.G had told me. On 5th of Oct (on the way to Pasargad), I had made the fastest 40km so far, in 100min. And now my brain started to work. Could I be faster? But for what? Anyway, it would be good to be fast in the morning, so what? And so on…
So, I was hungry enough to stop that race against myself and a small electronic device that triggered some of my weak points.
I saw bananas looking eatable and I wanted to combine them with rice I had kept from yesterday’s dinner and nuts&seeds that I wanted to use up. The lady had no change but offered me some fried bananas
(In fact those bananas that I had bought apparently had been decoration only) and a seat. So, my meal was complete and gave me energy for a next round of cycling. The weather was complaisantly, nearly all the time cloudy, 5 times raining for some minutes and not too windy.
There is something funny or just a proof for God’s strange education program or his humour:
When I clean my windows at home (not too often!) it starts to rain soon, except I clean my windows to provoke rainfall. (Otherwise it would be my education program for HIM not his for me). And now it rained, because I had cleaned my chain yesterday.
Today, I could make a check mark under “altar shop”, because I had missed a beautiful one yesterday, including daring tigers and other animals.
And I found the exception to the rule regarding motorcycle recognition. A man in a military (like) camouflage suit on a pink not-tuned motorcycle.
What else?
You know, I like signs telling you to do this and to leave that.
“avoid lordosis – always”!
And my route planner showed something funny:
go on 53km and then turn back!
I soon remembered the reason for that, but at first I was shocked. Many streets have separated lanes for the two driving directions. And every few kilometres, there is a U-turn and I should have used one. But I used the one before my junction and did what many motorcyclists do, I went in the wrong direction on the hard shoulder.
Not that funny is an advertisement for a cockfight-event.
I cannot understand people delighting in animals fighting, hurting and killing each other (or by some “heroes”, like in Spain).
On the way, I had only made two other stops to buy fruits, one sliced pineapple (great!) and little bananas and big tangerines.
(When I re-read that, I found “mad to stops to by…”, that is 3 mistakes in 5 words and I know that I don’t even find all of those where I know how to write it!)
So, I was at the hostel after 6,5 hours although it was 118km. At the room, I wanted to take a shower and all my skills and experience from this trip didn’t help, no water came. I asked for help and the solution was to turn the tap longer, then a small fountain appeared, I just had given up after some rounds – too early!
Now I had small and smaller bananas to compare, the smaller ones won with 8/10 points, but maybe only because I had eaten the softer of the bigger ones first and now only half-ripe were left. The big tangerine won against the small, like 9/10 vs 8/10.
The day before, I had read that bananas are hybrids and have no seeds – there were some!
I made a round through some streets to find food and see a bit of the city. I found a place to get rice and vegetables and after that, I bought a piece of cake, but this was maybe the last try, so far, I didn’t find really good sweets. On my way back, I saw many other and fr me suitable places, but I was not hungry, so I just bought more of these “rice-pudding” pastries for the next morning.
For the blog, I wanted to take out screenshots from the video, but since the last update of Magix, the screenshots only are the left upper quarter of the screen.
I did, what most parents of digital natives older than 7 or 8 do: I asked my sons (and they are not only a bit older than 8 and digi natives, they work with computers) and learned a new windows combination: WINDOWS + SHIFT + S. It is even better, because you can immediately select the part you want to have.
Thank you, son ?
Ah, today I was able to post the youtube video and the blog post at the same time, so you will find that sign in the video.
“the machine is working” 🙂 there was nobody and nothing. And not working
