Day 79

17/09/2009

The room at Pink Hotel looked even worse on second inspection, so after cooking some tea, we slept in the van in the car park. At least the water came back on during the evening so we could shower in the morning.

More driving today but the roads are straighter and we equalled yesterday's distance by 12:20, and totalled about 550km for the day.

First hotel we tried in Lahat was full, which is very unusual. Second had rooms, and we took one despite being on a noisy road. Not the best hotel, and could have done with some money spending on it, but we both slept surprisingly well.

We ate fried rice at a street cafe which was good, as usual. Pat and Simon are still running an hour or so behind us.
