Day 19 Wed 31/7 - Painful Decision But I am Going Home


Today Spend: Rs 1559    Total spend : Rs 16189

Although the Ali bike shop in Leh have another 20" toy rim, but knowing the tendency of twisted quality of such rim, i have lost the confidence of fitting such rim for my remaining journey from Leh to Srinagar,although the road condition is much better according to Chee. So my latest plan is to follow him back to Malaysia on the 9th of Aug. many thanks to Dave Ern for helping me to change my Airasia X flight with extra cost of Rm 409. We also book  the HPDC government bus leaving 5 am on 2nd Aug from Leh to Manali ( Rs2200) with an overnight stay in Keylong ,dinner and breakfast inclusive, then continue the journey to Manali the next morning, expected to arrive Manali at 3 pm , in time to connect the next HPDC Bus ( Rs 1220) to New Delhi and expected to arrive 7-8 am on the 4th. We are not sure yet as to take a train to Kolkata or a flight from Delhi . Meantime I had dismantled my bike and packed it in a bike bag, and bought another big "North face" bag for Rs 800 to put my other panniers. So far this is the plan until Delhi.

That's what touring is all about. Nothing happens as planned n be flexible to accept n adapt to changes, even though d initial feeling is one of disappointment. However u've achieved your aim n u're safe, that's d most important thing. There's always another ride.
Another feather in your cap, congrats!
