Some days on the road test you. Today was one of those days. Started with a flat tire about 50 km from the guesthouse. Fortunately, I have done this before and had all the tools. Fixed it in about 45 minutes, but it set the tone for the day. The route I had planned turned out to be much rougher than expected. What looked like a paved road on the map was actually loose gravel and dirt. Beautiful scenery though - completely untouched wilderness. By afternoon, I was exhausted but pushed through to reach the next town. Rewarded myself with a proper meal and early night. Despite the challenges, days like this are what adventure riding is all about. You learn, you adapt, you grow.
