After yesterday's climb we decided to jump in a bus to try to make ground. This was a bad idea. The bus was late - 2 hours late and we thought it to be full of people with 16 passengers, it wasn't and we added to more people - then it was full. After about 30 minutes of going downhill we decided to take to the road on the bikes.
We then started cycling and realised that 1. it was too hot 2. we were hungry. Luckly, as indonesia is a great placed we stop at the next restruant (20m down the road) and enjoyed some very tasty (and spicy) noodles for lunch.
We then enjoyed what was a pretty amazing ride through jungle in town. all downhill.
Subusallam had a really nice feel to it and we were welcomed by all, which was very reassuring given this was our first islamic town in Aceh. To distract a hoarde of young boys who befriended me I rode around town with them. I needed a haircut so they took me to the barber, I had a wet hot shave and shaved my gead and then went back to losmen for an afternoon reading in the sun.
When we booked the room they forgot to tell us that the town would be watching the football until 3am in front of our room. a sleeping pill and a set of ear plugs set us right for the night.
