Up early and Elias has dropped his bike in to get the repairs done. Then he comes back and we get some breakfast, the good old baguette and pate combo. Then we head back to see his Moto. I decide it is probably a good idea to fix my indicators and change the oil. Elias, on the other hand, has a long list of repairs, including, all his lights, luggage holder, foot rest and of course the oil. After getting this done and dusted it is back to the hotel to check out a...

We get up in the morning and we check out how to get to the national park, where there is the opportunity to ride some elephants. It doesn't appear to be too far, maybe an hour by bike. Get some breakfast, of bead, eggs, coffee and tea. The tea here is delicious, when you drink it, it tastes like cake. We call it cake tea, and in a lot of places you get a free glass when you order a coffee. We are about to head off when Elias discovers that he has sheered his lug...

Of course the plan is to leave Pleiku early, but that never materialises. By the time we get up and get the bikes packed it is after 10. Never worry, we will make good time.

Not much I can do about it now though, just some sun cream to stop it getting worse. ----- The road today is terrible. I ...

We get up and head for breakfast. It consists of Cosy Marie and some coffee, just what you need for a day on the bike. It is hot today, much hotter than it was yesterday, there looks to be little chance of rain which is good. I have had enough of that. In contrast the road quality is not as good as yesterday and so the time it takes us is longer. We have a plan, Pleiku tonight. It is the next big city according to our map. ----- We are so concerned about havin...

So we are up at 8.30 but by the time we get something to eat and pack our gear on to out bikes we don't end up leaving until 11. Of course Elias didn't bother to fix his lights yesterday as he thought he would melt in the rain, so we are going to have to look in to doing that somewhere along the road. Elias is so cleaver that he left his helmet outside on his bike all day yesterday, and it was upturned, so he know has what can best be described as a bowl of soup,...
