I just made sure they were at a sufficient distance
from my bed. I wasn't completely ready (yet) to
share my bed with 2 pythons.
We halted there for another day - a beautiful
sunny day in a peaceful farm. And then another
riding day and of course, rain and a storm.
We headed towards Nagaland and encountered
roads that were under construction. Because of
the rain, all the way to Manipur, we got muck and
slush over ourselves and our bikes. we kept
getting warned that the roads were not safe and
that we should not halt anywhere enroute. The
sight of army trucks on the road kept that as a
constant reminder to us. However, my experience
was totally different. I found the people very
peaceful and friendly.
At Moreh we had a day to sort out our stuff,
documents, wash our clothes, clean the bikes and
get ready to cross the border into Myanmar.
I again sensed that something was wrong
with partner as he looked really tense. I just
asked him if that is how he usually is, so I
could get used to it for 1.5 years.
He just said, "Give me a day or two". We respect
each other's space. That is the first rule of being
partners. I got back to my music, blogs and happy
thoughts.

We encountered no trouble at all. Other than that
it was Cold Cold Cold!!! I didn't realize that I would
start to freeze in india itself.
My bike showed 9-10°C during the day but with
the wind and heavy rain, my fingers froze and
that's how it was to be until we reached the
border at Moreh.
