It is time to say goodbye

Day 188, India, Laddakh, Pangong Tso, Enfield Day 7

It is time to say goodbye to my beloved Enfield. I have to pass again through the third highest motorable road and it will not be an easy task. Yesterday the cars needed chains to get through and no motorbike was able to get through. On the way up there is a traffic jam at the last kilometers before reaching the peak. I overtake everybody riding on snow and ice, Indians try to push my bike up and I reach happily the peak. The way down is much more easier, as the conditions are better. What an experience. As a last part of the day I visit a festival at a monastery. I arrive in Leh and then it happens! Just before the rental company after doing hundreds of kilometers under difficult conditions I slide and fall down. The fall is so comical that I am not even charged for the few scratches I have done on the bike. Goodbye Enfield!
