Tuesday - at least in Spain oh really I didn't know that - you didn't know that superstition day it's Tuesday the 13th not Friday - oh okay okay I learned something today - you learned something yeah okay okay we're doing this it was a nice hotel I liked it so weird staying in these fancy places all the time but I mean there's not much choice because the guide like they you know like they arrange everything and they suggest the hotels sure you could go and try and find but not everybody will take you and nobody speaks English uh it's really hard like not even in hotels people speak English it's it's it's tough you know there's not really much choice for us but it's okay I mean I knew it's going to be expensive this whole thing it was already expensive before I got here like I had to pay like 1700 uh dollar for the agency and for the whole you know process I think it's going to the whole trip is going to set me back like three grand I think but so worth it though so worth it but now we're going up the pass again guys 9:30 in the morning and I'm riding my freaking electric bike through Tibet how crazy is that right it's so crazy when I started the journey two years ago I wouldn't have thought I didn't even think about China to be honest it's so amazing yesterday was by the way the first time in a week that I had to pay for uh electricity at the charging station I paid 17 yuan which is like $2 something like that everywhere else nobody wanted to take money it was every time it was okay to plug in it was always cool so that's just brilliant I'm very very happy right now everything works works out I was a bit concerned about holding off the group too much but so far so good today it's going to be a long riding day again 350 km uh I'm going to have to charge again obviously and at least oh wow at least I reckon 1 and 1/2 hours minimum if I can charge with 3 KW so I hope it's going to be cool we should make it it's quite busy this road here and we're going up super steep we'll go up to 5,000 military oh [ __ ] well oh no well well I'll plug in somewhere and then yeah I know we have we'll fix it we'll fix it I just plug in the bike somewhere so it's charging and then yeah yeah uh I'm sorry ah she has a puncture let's just try to plug in somewhere yeah so I'll just do with 8 amps I don't know how that power outlet is so it's fine it's okay it's okay enough for now uh let's see how we can fix the tire you already got the wheel off -
