Woke up late this morning and since I didn’t brush my teeth yesterday my mouth tasted very bad. I went to brush my teeth immediately in the ditch in front of the little place we stayed in. It is pretty cool this ditch runs past the front of all the little shops / houses in the town (there are only about 6) and the water in it is perfectly clean to drink since it comes out of the mountains.
It was time for breakfast so we asked our host to for the menu and started pointing at some dishes we would like. He kept on saying he didn’t have any of it. After a while with no luck he called us outside and took us to the back of his little house and showed us his chickens. He wanted to know if we wanted one to eat. I was hungry and told him to just get on with it. He slaughtered and cleaned it in a matter of minutes. Cooking it took much longer though and we started cleaning our bikes and luggage from all the dust that was still in and on everything since the sandstorm.
The dish that was prepared had the whole chicken in it, including head and feet. It was very nice and afterwards we just lazed around, read and went to look for a phone at the nearby army base with no luck.
We asked the man to prepare some food for us for tomorrow which we can take in our lunchbox. It was nice a good rest and tomorrow the fun starts again.
