Yesterday the thunderstorm only came with thunder but no storm,another lucky day no wet tent to carry.Today's ride registered the most altitude climb 1569m,the most ave climb 6% and also the steepest climb of 30% ( pushing of course). It required lots of gears change and I was caught a few times on downhill with my mid gears ration of 2x8,then the road suddenly went steep climb after the corners and it needed a low gear ration of 1x2. I had to stop ,make a u-turn to correct my gears ratio,forcing might caused the chain to snap. I am glad so far the bike stood up well against all odds. The highlight for today was being offered lots of fruits, tomatos , onions, cucumbers,grapes and a big nan bread from a village old man, who often came to my tent to see whatelse he can give. The next morning he came to say good-bye to me and I took a picture of him so that I won't forget to remember such a nice man.

From the leave, you can tell,
it is a kind of pear.
Xiao wong,
Inside the fruit,a brown juicy tiny seed is what make this fruit so special
I could be wrong, just from the photo, the leave and the shape of the fruit tells you it is a pear.
Pear also has small seeds (like apple's), but when you have "juicy" seed), I give up. Maybe you could find out next time when you shop in their open market.
Thank you.
Ya, people from tropical country really open their eyes when they see different kinds of fruits: pear, plum, necterine, cherry, apricot, all sort of berries...
