We awoke to the beeping of a local bus early in the morning. All vehicles here like to beep their horn to let you know they are coming. The buses take this one step further and beep a lot to attract potential customers. They have extra strong horns mounted too. I reckon you can hear a bus a good 10 minutes before it arrives because of the beeping.

We got off to an early start and have eaten all meals in shops along the road today. We took a two hour break at one o’clock and had a sleep. Luckily, it wasn’t so hot today.

Towards the evening, we started looking for a suitable place to spend the night and heard of a Buddhist Temple in the area. We are now spending the night here! It is a very peaceful place and we are grateful for the hospitality the Monks have shown us.

The local Policeman showed up to take our details which is customary for hotels etc. He was a pleasant and helpful man who went to great lengths to ensure that we were well provided for, which we are. This is a rare experience.

Apparently they get up at 5 AM, so it is time to do what everybody else is doing here and sleep!
