First miserable day of travel today, we set out to find the monkeys of the local National park, forgot to take the map and ended up riding around for around 100km half of which was through remote quarries, rice paddies, villages and other scarce rocky places all through a bone chilling cold of an unbelievably cold day. We did not manage to find the national park of any other of the tourist attractions that were supposed to be that way but we definitely had ourselves one of the most “off the beaten track” experiences ever.

We got back to the hotel chilled to the bone, couldn’t stop trembling for about an hour. The feeling in the feet and hands returned only after we drank lots of tea and ate Oreo’s under the blanket – all is well that end well, oh except the water heater in the room was off so we couldn’t even have a hot shower.
