Friday 11th Feb
After a nice breakfast of eggs, sausage and tomato with home made bread we set off at 9am for a loop through the mountains of rural Thailand.. very cold to start so extra layer. Roads twisty, up and down, great scenery and very little traffic.. but the inevitable potholes and stretches of dirt road. The natives were pleased to see us.. Especially the hill tribe ladies!
Breath taking scenery and everywhere so green and covered with foliage..so different from the Alps. The sun came out and the temperature rose.. time for lunch.
And then off for more good riding and back at our digs for 4pm and cold beer :)
Last night the lady of the house cooked us a very tasty meal.. more tonight. We have eaten well everywhere.. great food over here and lovely people..but the bathroom plumbing leaves a lot to be desired. For some reason there is never any hot water supply in the sink .. not fun shaving in cold water. The shower head rarely reaches the sink.. when it does there is never a plug for the sink 🙁 As for the “bum gun” by the toilet.. would you fancy blast of cold water up your nether regions in the morning.. acquired taste obviously 🙂
Tomorrow we have 260 kms of good riding to Chiang Rai.
