There was a sudden jult on the train about 7am. We looked out of our window and there was about a hundred local people looking under the train, when I went to ask someone what had happened I found out that someone had got ran over by the train and was under our carriage, I saw them carry the person out using a sheet and then the train continued?!? Weird how they work but that poor guys family. Didnt really make a good start to the day.

Once we got to our hotel we checked in and we had motorbikes waiting for us to take us on a tour around the place. I never felt safe on these things as they would just whiz through the traffic without a care in the world! horns go off more than every second of the day as there are no road rules, people just hoot!!! What a head ache man!! 2/3rds of the population own bikes!!!!!!

We went riding through country sides and the city, visited hat makers. Was a nice day being riden about from 10am - 5pm, stopping for a nice lunch in a family home that Grant arranged.
