... in Paris of cancer, he didn't even bother to attend her funeral. Talk about a royal ass... literally;
- French Quarter, Old Train station, Crazy House (actually really neat, reminiscent of Gruell Park in Barcelona; freaky architecture, built by a VNese architect, the kid of the 3rd President of the socialist republic);
- Elephant Falls, absolutely stunning, we climbed down to the bottom of the falls and got a good shower;
- saw our 4th motorcycle ...

... Lak so had to cruise down the mountain which was amazing. Every once and a while the boys would let us off the bikes to walk for a bit to get rid of the numb bums from sitting on the bikes. At the last place they 'let' us walk through this village were I think it was for the amusement of the locals rather than for our bums as everyone was running out to smile, laugh and say hello.
