Day 77

15/09/2009

Early start today in anticipation of slow progress, which is how it turned out. 10 hours driving got us 340km. No ill effects from the hotel -seems OK in the daylight.

The roads vary from good but twisty to bad and twisty, but the driving is enjoyable (for me at least) and the country side and towns are great. Not sure if this is officially tropical rain forest, but it's well south of the tropic of cancer, certainly rains a lot, and if you didn't describe it as forest you'd have to use the word jungle.

Not many (any?) suitable camping spots this evening, so we're in a hotel again with the usual eating arrangements - Beth and I at a street cafe across the road (cost £3.30) and Simon and Pat eating in the hotel (cost £11)

Just look at that Lattitude.....only a few kilometres to go now.

Lat 0 52.25 N
Long 99 33.71 E
Town - can't remeber and the map's in the van, and it's raining again. Try Google Earth.
