David and Chrissie, i met in the hostel, had prepared food for lunch and we took off early that morning with the rental car. Five hours later we arrived at the waterfalls.   
On our way back in the dark we ended up riding for a longer time than expected but luckily david had a great amount of french music we could listen too and enough to talk about. Unfortunatly david and chrissie had to take a bus that night and continue their journey.
I was back at my broken bike and with the newly acquired tools i was able to get the shaft completely off the bike. Attachment 16225With the part in hand and some help from alejandro i headed down to the best biker garage in town and was driven and helped around town to get the part fixed instead of ordering it. As i was thinking of probably having to stay for a week, they told me that they will have it fixed by the next day. I am very much looking forward to what the result will be tomorow. With all the problems i have had i start to think that going on a bike ride the best thing is probably to break down. I pushes you to ask for help from people you would otherwise not interact with and makes you discover how nice people are.
