Autumn is the best time to travel here. The weather was so cool and dry that it was pleasant to ride alongside the river. On our third night we slept in a small village on little pieces of wood. The village had no lights.,In a few houses, however, we could see candles. It was very quiet. On the small road near the village, we heard only one truck all night.
