After we have implemented a forced switch to AT Marions for the fan, we leave Kathmandu at 04.04. Honda's fully loaded with our east. After 60-70 km we stop at a suspension bridge. I drive on it immediately, we shoot photos Viedeos turn around because see that coming at the end of the bridge steps, which can drive down I never. Together we move AT all the way back.
The Srtaße has now been interrupted repeatedly by a few kilometers long gravel stages. On one of these stages Marion had a fierce-looking fall. It is fortunately nothing happened and the AT must now proceed with only one mirror. Only much later we notice the break of the case mounting.
Here the road ends, quite simply, a few logs thrown into the street and stopped to build. We avoid the river valley and continue along the paths. From time to time falls jamand of us in deep mud or sand, what remains but without any consequences. In the evening we look directly at the river a place to camp, set up the tents. In no time we are umsingelt by a crowd of children, adolescents and adults, but which disappears at nightfall again to the next morning at the tents herumzustahen and see. However, we can now cook once, eat talk and enjoy our first evening in the wild.
break After a great night on wahrcheinlich beautiful spot in this area we in the morning after a refreshing swim in the river on. Of the locals, we know that there are up to the road for 20 km. How far and arduous 20 km are we now at length in the next 3 hours, were experienced in the sense of the word. When we arrive in the afternoon at a small kiosk, we are completely exhausted every drink more Coke, Fanta, Sprite, or whatever else is in the refrigerator to the fluid balance back somewhat to fill. The further we come to the south is still hot. The farmers are busy with the harvest while we slip slowly at home the first green stalks from the ground. The following night we sleep in a hotel in Janakpur. For a long time before breakfast We start the motorcycle with the first repairs. The cases at bar on Marion's costs quite a time and also at the AT Claus must be tightened, a little too long to screw the case mounting the rear brake line is cut. Only in the afternoon we continue our journey, we come up to Damak where we are quartered in a guest house, by chance the boss has also a small restaurant nearby, where he us in his car (4 wheels, Nähmaschinenmotörchen), I do not know whether I was more in the car or more outside, passed here. After eating a nice evening with good Nepali and Nepali beer, we are the few steps back to the guest house but would rather run on foot.
The rest follows first in bullet points.
7:04 we go all over the east through forests and tea plantations high to Phidim where we are allowed to stay overnight in the local police station. We eat at a very friendly old man on Nepalifood Nepaliart, ie rice and dal with vegetables is eaten with the fingers.
