ZAIDA 201km DAY 190

IMILCHIL TO ZAIDA

Breakfast is always included and always the same at everyplace, just the quality varies drastically. Half the time you get freshly squeezed orange juice, eggs hardboiled or scrambled and bread and a pancake like thing which you put jam on and some tea and a tiny piece of cheese. 

When we headed out it was 4*C  but didn't feel that cold on my hands, maybe the gauge was not right. Rode on asphalt for awhile and then it turned to dirt along some mountains where the recent rains have caused major damage and many detours. The route is the Circo de Jafaar and was rather scenic in that area but also had some challenges for me in the riverbeds through the gorges. Dropped the bike quite a few times by just not going fast enough and for route choices, but no damage to the body or the bike thankfully. Raul leaves in two days time so I will not be able to do these kind of tracks then, I hope I remember, need to make the right choices and take care of the bike, not that I haven't been but have a long way to go so need to be attentive.

    Two kilometers after this a kid threw stones at us and hit me on the back of my helmet and made a chip in it. 

     
We ended up at Zaida for the night in a decent hotel surprisingly and only €30. Went for dinner at the local restaurant and then went for a haircut which was quit and experience, won't need one for another six months, when you say short, you get short.

    Dinner.  Notice all the meat hanging in the background.


    Breakfast this morning.
