Pack up, roll out. Last day on the bike.
MoreEasy day today. We're hoping the wind blows us all the way to Bonar Bridge.
MoreWe have a breakfast of cheese and ham sandwiches in the morning sun.
MoreWow.
That might be the best day I've spent on a bike, anywhere, anywhen.
MoreIt's blinding bright. I still can't feel my feet. It's too early. I refuse to wake up.
MoreSunshine again. We were 30km under planned distance yesterday, so this is how we start our day.
MoreThe day dawns clear and sunny. We head down to the hotel to get some breakfast. Packing up after eating, we get on the road around ten. About three hours later, we sit down for lunch at the Applecross Inn. We've covered 20km.
MoreA note on Scottish weather: if water is falling out of the sky, it's not necessarily raining.
MoreAs we head North Northwest towards the border, the sky grows dark. Thunderclouds have been threatening, and we've seen the occasional flash of lightning on the distant horizon. This is different though, as there is a reddish tinge to the swirling air. The train is heading into a sandstorm.
MoreWhile trains in Burma are relaxing and colourful, they are certainly not fast. Yesterday's moving rest still leaves us with a job of work if we are to make it to Bagan.
