If Carlsberg Made Toasters...

They probably wouldn't be the best toaster's in the world.... This one would...

KTM merchandising is a bit bonkers, but pretty cool!

I'm going to get myself a proper Tankbag, better than strapping my camera case to the tank as I do at the moment. I am tempted to get some decent Aluminium boxes, but they would seriously detract from my budget. I'm completely undecided on luggage once again. Soft luggage is great for performance in the centre of the bike, but now has a couple of rips and I'm constantly worried about things being pilfered. Aluminium I found was durable and more secure but put a bit too much stress on the frame, but the boxes I had made in Pakistan were pretty heavy and didn't mount properly... Should have gotten decent stuff before I set off. We live and learn...

Whilst my bike was being systematically dismantled and rebuilt I felt rather lonely, so rented this little minx.

I've nicknamed her 'Slagathor'. She's like a Hairdryer on steroids with a top speed of about 50mph. Down hill... With the wind behind me... Whilst slipstreaming behind a a truck... You get the idea... It's enough to allow me to explore the Island though.

I found a nice bay where the fishermen moor their boats. There were some big jelly fish in the water.

I noticed something bobbing along not far away. It was a wild otter munching on discarded fish. My lens is a bit pathetic for zoom shots but that small black dot is an otter, I assure you.

There's an Irish guy here at this guest house. He annoys a lot of people here because he's been on the lash for the past few days. He constantly had a can of beer in his hand until this morning when he awoke from his stupor and discovered someone has nicked all his money and passport. The people at the guest house are a bit disappointed since it means he's now stuck here. He looks rather uncomfortable and unhappy now that he only has a bottle of water in his hand.

My plan now is to find out more about shipping to Indonesia tomorrow then head inland towards the Cameron highlands.

I've kept forgetting to add this slide show I made when I was in Kathmandu, so here it is...
