Rain

We have been stuck in Dan Sai for 2 days, prisoners of the rain and cold and the wretched tandem with its broken front derailer cable..
Met Tharee at the local restaurant, who is a 72 yr old Bangkok lady who has come here to look at her land. She taught us a few useful Thai words (mainly food..)
Tandem is now working as well as it will, still jumping a few gears but at least the 3 chains are working. Unfortunately despite many attempts we couldn't put the protective little cap on the shifter.. But we know much about gear cables and chain and derailer adjustment!
The sun has made a short appearance and we have decided to go across the mountains on route 2114 towards the  Mekong, regardless of the weather...
