Knowing what to expect was of a great comfort to me. We turned the corner of the hotel and began the long and steady accent into the mountains. Several stops for water and filming took place which broke the climb up. A great accomplishment was felt when we reached the top and began to see the long downhill ahead of us. We eventually found ourselves rolling into our hotel for the night by about 2pm.
Surprisingly this hotel/resort was a popular tourist destination for Indonesian travelers and included a 50m swimming pool. We jumped into the chlorine filled pool and cooled off, keeping in mind it was a Muslim town meaning we were required to keep our clothes on - here we managed to kill two birds with one stone and wash our smelly cycling clothes whilst bathing. |
