Day 45


Total Distance Covered: approx 9500 miles

Made it to UB reasonably early and managed to find the ‘finish line’ fairly quickly. Almost straight away upon arrival we were surrounded by locals wanting to buy equipment etc from the ambulance, politely informing them we were not planning on selling anything they soon disappeared, however they had managed to leave with something…My Ipod! Bastards! Signing over Keith was a bit sad, seemed strange that we would no longer be driving everyday. A relief mainly but at the same time our adventure was at an end. Things got a bit stressful when all the hostels nearby were totally full but eventually we found a little gem, a friendly guest house with dorm rooms but had two lounges, free WiFi and what have you. After moving into our for the moment otherwise empty dorm room we went exploring. First to the department store with the intentions of buying some cheap clean clothes to wear whilst in UB however this was soon shot down after seeing the prices so we headed to the ‘Black market’ with images of cheap chino’s and loafers in our minds. Managing to catch the correct bus we eventually made it there. After a swift peruse of the second hand clothing stalls with Jeremy trying on some trousers, announcing they were too tight but buying them anyway, the market closed and we made our way back with only one pair of slightly suspect, second hand jeans between us. By the time we got back to the guesthouse we were ravenous so after quick, much needed showers we went in search of an eatery of some description. It was not long before we settled on a Pizzeria not far away. Inside we met some slightly crazy Welsh/Asian duo but managed to shake them off after while looking for a bar. After a  rather unsuccessful search for further drinking holes we decided to head back.
