When I reached the main road they had decided to resurface it, so the is basically the equivalent of a single carriage A road in the UK with the surface removed from both sides for about 10miles. Can you imagine if they did this in the UK?
The high winds going over the twisty mountain roads had me almost at a standstill at times. I would fly round a bend to be hit by a wall of wind that would just kill my speed. I doubt the 2 foot safety wall would have prevented me from flying over the edge into the valley below, so it was all very interesting to say the least.
Arriving in Zeida reminded me of Driving in India with things coming at you randomly from various directions.
Having a nice mint tea now. I asked the hotel about alcohol and there is a shop that sells it, 5km away. At least it’s better than the hotel last night, the nearest shop that sold alcohol was 45km away. Needless to say there were no volunteers to make a beer run last night.
