Rest day
This town has seen better days. In
some previous regime it would have been glorious. It looks like it was built by the communists
but now it is rundown and badly in need of some funds. Our motel is huge and a centre of excellence
for groups of young kids to attend sports camps. So there are 4 million kids running around;
but extremely well behaved. Of course
soccer features highly in the sport’s stakes in this part of the world.
For some reason I had two sleeps today a morning and afternoon nap, must
have been tired for some strange reason. I guess that's what you are supposed to do on a rest day.
At no additional cost for the room, we were blessed with a Hawk nesting in
the flower box on our balcony. Five
brown speckled eggs in a very simple nest. Do hope that they are able to successfully raise the little chicks.
Back on the bike tomorrow.
You wonder how a river kms wide can fit through such a small gap without
causing a rapid. But it is up to 84m
deep here and just down the river there is the hydro dam and huge lock, which
is how it is all controlled. You can see
one of the tunnels on the right.
