I decided it was time to get some sleep and forego-ed a 6 hour bike ride with the others. Instead I spent a few hours strolling between villages and taking in the scenery.
Most homes had electricity and many had satellite dishes. At one point it seemed that all the T.V.'s were tuned to the same thing. Swooping dramatic music. The ladies of the village were putting their feet up for a spell and taking in a soap opera. At the same time, a couple of pale English girls trundled past me on a tandem bicycle, headphones firmly planted in their ears, loudly asserting "Emmerdale! No, I never really liked Emmerdale...."
Despite some creature comforts, working the paddy fields did look like back breaking work.
