After a healthy breakfast consisting of rice and chicken (there is no difference between breakfast, lunch and dinner here) I felt ready for another day in the mountains.
The distance from Bandung to the coastal town of Krui looked very short on my map, but with the twisted roads the distance ended up almost double of what I would have thought.
The first part of the trip along the Ranau lake was amazingly beautiful. One of the most beautiful stretches of road I remember on the trip.
On the descend towards the coast the road turned very bad. Luckily no flats, but this kind of road is really not recommendable on a road bike.
When I made it to Krui I spotted a couple of foreigners. This is the first time I see foreigners in Indonesia! They turned out to be Australians coming to surf. If Australians actually leave Australia to surf, I guess the beaches must be good!
The day ended at another family run hotel right by the ocean. I love cycling on Sumatra!
Ih hvor smukt….
