This place was a life saver!

At the end of my first day cycling, when the combined effects of jet lag, breathing foul truck exhaust continuously for hours, and the heat, my morale was slipping. Just as my turn-off toward Neral Junction appeared, so did a sign for the Jai-Hill Resort located just a hundred metres ahead.

Although somewhat gaudy (this place re-defines kitsch!), the food was good and the bed soft. Mind you, I was tired enough to sleep on a bed of nails.
