Day 102, 73km: by Chris

Amy was annoyed that it took us 2 hours to get ready again this morning complaining that we'll be cycling in the heat of the day. Unfortunately, 'the heat if the day' runs from 10am to 3pm. Luckily for me the park warden came up and talked to us for 20 minutes so this time he got the blame. We cycled through farmland all day, drank more ice slushies at lunchtime and passed rubber tree plantations in the afternoon. The roads were noisy with tractors-on-sticks, trucks without silencers and teenagers on irritating popping scooters. We were going to visit the ruins of a big temple but it was closed for political reasons but they let us camp at the entrance gate next to a picturesque lake with lovely views of the orange sunset reflecting in its glassy surface. Idyllic, if it wasn't for the mosquitos and the fact someone arrived to turn on a noisy pump right where we were sat.
