19 February

The full-moon...

After the very long hot day, the showers were welcome. The hotel didn't serve dinner until 8 pm, way too late for us riders, so we ventured a couple of hundred yards down the street to 'you'll see it, it's the first nice looking restaurant'. Photos follow, not what we expected, but food was good and inexpensive and nobody got sick to our knowledge. We went back there the next night on the rest day.

We got back to the hotel for a display of local dance, very nice entertainment and suitable for those of us who didn't go into town for all the festival celebrations and chaos. Are we showing out age?

20 February, our rest day, we went to the caves, and for that a separate blog entry. Also some time on the street outside the hotel ground

what to do when tired...

...or if you're a shopkeeper, you can sit cross-legged on your counter.

with the support staff, we try juice freshly squeezed from sugar cane
