I woke up to dark and cloudy skies that soon turned into lightning and thunder and rain. Not torrential like what we have in Malaysia but heavy enough to be unfavorable for cycling. I decided to wait for awhile in hope that it would clear up. It didn’t and that’s when my hostel host said I could stay another day if I like and for free. Oh wow that was not expected. I thought for awhile and very quickly decided that I will take up the offer.
After awhile he brought me some food for lunch. I was really impressed with his hospitality. It continued raining till past noon. After that the skies opened up to blue skies and sunshine.
Since it turned out to be such a nice day, I went for a walk around town and ended up taking a boat ride around the lake.
As I was walking back to my hostel, I saw another cycle tourer and I tried to catch up with him to have chat. Then I saw he was walking with someone that looked like my host. Indeed it was and it turns out he managed to convince another cycle tourer to stay at his property.
The cycle tourer introduced himself as Thom and he is a 23 year old from Holland and just came from Albania and is riding to Istanbul.
We chatted together with the host and eventually had some beer with the host in his garden and later a simple dinner. After dinner we sat around and chatted for awhile before I turned in for the night.
I am hoping for great weather tomorrow and look forward to cross over to Albania tomorrow.
