John and I have arranged to borrow motorbikes from VSO until they are needed elsewhere – for volunteers who need transport to do their jobs. John’s motorbike arrived a couple of weeks ago. Mine was expected to be in Kupang for me to have brought back with me at the end of my holiday but had not arrived. This weekend as John was not feeling up to going far I borrowed the bike. It is a Honda Magapro 1600 and has manual gears and a petrol tank that you can use your knees to steer against – ie a real bike. On Saturday I used it to go to the market getting up at 05:30 – even though I had not left a wedding party until midnight the night before. On Sunday I set off to exp
lore heading south along the road that leads past the airport – I had never been further along the road than that. The further away from Baa the worse the road became with many sections showing no signs of ever being surfaced. I was very pleased with how I was doing when I got to a bridge which was also unsurfaced, did not have all the planks present and no continuous side rail. I decided discretion was the better part of valour and dismounted and tried to walk across as I could not even bring myself to do this without the bike and would have needed to cross the bridge a second time to go home I decided to turn round and go back home.
