So that was the Bike Marathon. Incredibly, as the ass hurts when you sit eight hours on nem bike. Even the most comfortable seat is needed to torture and the Indian highways, according to announcement even before 2008 up to its name. Some nice tracks, but in between I had a lot pothole track and let it wander sadly little time to look to the right and left.

And that although the area has changed great, very tropical and not only because of the heat. Everywhere palm trees, water, relatively flat throughout and occasionally Scottish mountains, green, tossed in the landscape. Beauty here.

As the afternoon sitting on the bikes did not went, we were still just under 200km from the coast, we have sometimes swapped bikes. At the same time Hugo's bike is the fuel filter dropped, Hugo has complained to my front wheel over a eieriges. A closer look is then shown to me on the way somewhere one of the two front fastenings had been lost, ohoh. Luckily noticed in time, will not look good without front across India. Same small town in NEM stopped at the next mechanic who is then going on his bike and took care of in the next city a corresponding part. Ganb not a new one, but he unscrewed at getting another bike. Me reassure everyone that knows them and the other gets a new tomorrow. Sound honest.

Unfortunately, all good ne took awhile, so nothing was achieved with coast. In the next griesseren place after calming overnight search, arrived at the bypass road to NEM hotel where it was said before no room and then we would have still metal beds (yes, no mattresses, bare light metal) getting myself ... After some Rumgeeier with NEM Tyo in the city ​​driving, which then brought us to the only lodge there. When walking around a little later we have found a thousand others, of course, yes, was probably a commission deal.
In any case, tomorrow HERE at the coast, 360km and managed to ride now still 116, then we have arrived at the southernmost cleared funds.
