Day 17 Mon 29/7 - 3rd Rest Day in Leh


Today Temp: 17 -34c
Today spend: Rs 1190   Total spend: Rs 14160

Woke up to a disappointing morning to see our bikes in a mess position in the parking walkway of the guesthouse. Close inspection saw my right hand side mirror was broken.I started with 2 mirrors,the left side mirror was broken while on the roof of the bus from Keylong to Leh,and now the right side.So now a new problem surface,as riding a recumbent unlike upright,the rear mirrors are very important to see what is coming from behind,as turning our head back is very stressful to our neck. So my mission this morning is to apply for the inner line permit and also to hunt for a pair of mirrors. For inner line permit, the fee is Rs 400 valid for 5 days with once renewal of Rs 20 per day extension. 1st job settled,and now going to the Moti Market for the mirrors, luck again was on me, as i went to the Ali bike shop and i got a pair of motorcycle mirrors, and it fitted just nicely to my handle bar. The plan for tomorrow is , we will start early to ride up the Khardungla with minimum luggage, and leave most of it in the guesthouse,we will spend 3 days 2 nights in the Nubra Valley before coming back to Leh. We also met 2 Taiwanese sweet ladies at the same guesthouse, Melody Tang and Ejane Ho, we celebrated the birthday of Ejane Ho in a candle light dinner and sang her the birthday song. We also exchanged facebook contacts to keep in touch in the future.
Sorry for the Jalor Gemilang cos' gone with the wing,now the Tibetan flag
