Arrive at airport.

Rent DT 125s.

Arrive hotel.

Hotel is pretty good.

Head out of town and immediately find awesome off-road routes.

Having a bloody great time!

End the day with a well-earned beer.

Bike starting troubles.

Found a new playground.

Rest stop.

First water crossing.

Local lunch – best ham and cheese ever.

Locally caught fresh fish for dinner.

Nom nom nom.

Not exactly high season.

Beer seems particularly refreshing after a day learning to ride off-road.

Sunny start to the day at the marina.

Seafront with a storm coming in.

Sunny evening back at the hotel and marina.

Heading out to find a bar. Dave has his own!

Crap interior decor, Dave…

Has a pool table though.

Ah, burger!

Another sunny evening beer.

Perfect end to the day.

Another day begins.

Bikes all ready for another day on the trails….

…if the damn thing will start.

Back on the road

Still some rain.

Mostly sun.

Another roadside refreshment.

Bikes to bed for the night.

Bedtime beckons, but first…

To the balcony…

…for a victory beer.

Another great looking day.

Blissful peace.

back on the trail

Scenery

First disaster of the day – chain off and stuck. No tools cos we’re on rentals.

Stranded miles from town.

With Dave’s bike stuck, I went off and found a mechanic at Moto Salir.

Cool workshop.

Moto Salir to the rescue.

Mechanic’s bike. He rode it over very tricky rough trails, one-handed with a big toolbox on his lap. Hero!

I piss on your wind turbine.

Evening beer on the balcony.

Heaven.

Er, big tower of meaty goodness.

Funny Beer.

The reward for a day of riding.
