It would have been possible to take swim, but eventually I didn’t want strongly enough.
So, I only made a short bike ride, to get a GPS location (yesterday it didn’t work at all and I wanted to try it with freshly charged batteries. And I wanted to have a beautiful sunrise, but this was cancelled today, because of clouds.
that dog wanted to participate in the selfie but then he just spoiled it
It was nice anyway.
Not so nice was the waste in that little lake…
At the resort, they had offered breakfast and out of curiosity, I took it. The only option was toast (or not) with butter (or not) and jam (or not) and hot water that you could turn into something like coffee or cacao with some powder. I took everything except the coffee and slightly after 7, I was on the street again.
Today, I saw so many dogs lying on the street that I decided to dedicate an own video or a section of one to them.And I had my 4th fall with the bike, the first time during going. The other 3 times, I was standing of turning to the left and had forgotten that my left foot still was fixed to the pedal. This time, I wanted to avoid a bump but instead slipped on the sand at the side and fell. My right foot was fixed, and I could only “use” my leg and my arm. Taken the heavy bike and myself falling, practically nothing happened, except some small scratches. But my gopro was on and I want to get everything out of that:
I remember seeing an accident report in Taiwanese TV and was fascinated! They showed the little film material, that they had, 5-10 times in slow motion, normal, with graphic visualisation etc.
I want to try this now ?
On the ride, I saw some things that are funny for me.
a lot of sand to broom today!
And I had to do something, what I wouldn’t do again. I had to cross the rails but they way so high that I had to lift the bike over each of them.
Mr.G didn’t show any alternative but next time; I would look at the offline map on my phone to find my way and then back to the GPS route.
Today, I only bought an ice-cream, because I had to finish something from yesterday. In a shop I had bought something looking like a cake. But it was the same sugar-with-sugar-thing that I once had mistaken for a kind of chocolate in Armenia, only formed like small cakes. No idea who wants to have that and for what!
I dissolved that problem in soya milk and spiced it up with my last cookies from Iran, very rich…
The ice cream was no big contrast, also sweet, but cold and as topping, I could choose Jackfruit. As I had seen it before in different shops, people take off their shoes when they enter and I followed the other customers in that. I refilled my water bottle, but I also got a cup with ice cubes and I didn’t want to waste that and drank water from the cup, too, until the ice was melted.
Then I went and forgot my water bottle, only 20km later I saw it! It was originally a bottle with Gatorade that I had bought, because it fitted in the bottle holder and had a drinking valve. I had it for 2 years ? and now I need something similar again.
The route made a detour that led to Prachuap Khiri Khan. So, I saw some attractions and was ok with the 2-3km more although the wind had made it more exhausting than necessary.
there were lots of monkeys, passing the street to and fro
Most of the time, I could use only the 4th and 5th gear with the middle chain ring. And I had to use the wind shield of the helmet most of the time. For me, the windshield is not only wind protection, but also against sand and little stones and against insects. Yesterday, when there was less wind, I didn’t use it for a while and an insect flew against my open eye. It hit me hard, although I always wear glasses. Now, for a while, I will be more careful again…
Today, the road was near the sea quite often, here to other pics.
but also off the shore, some landscapes were attractive.
I call it “Thainburger Au” because it reminds me on the Hainburger Au at the Danube
I the evening, I tried to get a new water bottle and got only one fitting well in the bottle holder but with a normal screw cap.
And I bought again some bananas and tangerines and a yellow fruit that was formed like a mango and in some way also tasted like one. It was not very sweet, but apparently ripe and very juicy, let’s say 6/10 points.
Tomorrow, I have only 43km, so I will try to be relaxed ?
Here, I was
