Hello everyone, So sorry that it has been a while since i last updated the site!!!! The thing is, the places that we keep stopping have been in the middle of no-where!! Basically i am going to try and cram everything in talking about the most eventful things that have happened since 14/10-27/10.
14/10 = we woke up and decided to just follow the road down and pickup the highway further down!! After passing a few dogs growlling at us and barking we then came to a dead end.....fantastic!!!! So we had to go all the way back (passing the same dogs) as you can imagine this added a few more miles on than expected!! Eventually we arrived in Hua Hin (a built up area, lots of western people around!) We found a nice Guest house just outside the town. Went for a walk around town (had to go into boots just for the air con to cool down hahah) Lots of pizza places.... so i was then starting to crave for pizza BIG TIME!!! Went back to guest house to find some where that done pizzas near there!! We did!!! in we go, order drinks......comes back to take order for food and oooooo no pizzas tonight!!!! arrrrhhhh gutted!!!
15/10 = We decided not rest today so we lazed around and then went out for a walk along the beach... Massive jellyfish lying on the beach!! Got my pizza for dinner today...yipppee!! Went to a night market and bought a pair of 3/4 length linen trousers for 2 pounds its crazy!!!
16/10 = Today was again a bit of a stuggle to get up.....dont know why? We knew we had a bid ride ahead of us so we set of early so we would not be in the sun all day....little did we know! We came off the highway to cycle through the National Park. After along cycle to get there they wanted to charge us 400 baht each and Thais only pay 40 baht Thats an outrage!!!! In the end we ended up not paying anythng as we only wanted to cycle straight through the park! views were beautiful....but after a few miles in the scorching heat, with no-where to shade or get a drink the beauty side of things started to die on me... hahaha Again chassed by crazy dog (nearly died crossing the road to get us) We arrived in one town but both agreed to go a further 2 1/2 miles to the next built up area (hard decision to make when bum, legsand prickly heat are sore) We arrived but could not find anywhere to stay. Locals say only one 2km from here!! We found the place to stay and it was pretty manky!! But hay thank goddness we were off the bike! 53.86 miles in to a cold shower and straight to sleep!
17/10 = Woke up, lips burnt, hands burnt!!! Got chassed by dogs agan!! by this time i was really wanting to get out of Thailand i was terrified of the dogs!!! I was crying everytime!! I woke up thinking about them went to bed thinking about them. i felt soooo sick at the thought of them!! 22.93 mles we arrived in a place called Phrachap Kiri Khan and found a lovely Guest house there that was newly built, swimming pool!!! we decided to book in for 3 nights and chill out! went for swim and the owner asked if we would like to go out on his boat to an island... we said yeah cool sounds good!........6pm dark got on the boat by this time we were like.....what are we doing??? THEN...... the owner of the guest house (martin) lifted something up and it was a knife lying on a newspaper.......ohhhh noooo well i was like oh my god!! Thankfully his propeller broke so at the chance we both jumped off the fishing boat and tried to sound gutted!!! ahhahaha That was a good story to write!
20/10 = We cycled through the Royal Air Force gounds which was nice! We then got to a road near the railway which again was a nice ride!! Thailand so far has been completely flat!! Again we wanted to go through the National park to stay but they wanted to charge 400 each so we said ok lets cycle further down on the highway and see if there is some road that will take us to the beach!! We found one and also found a really nice bungalow to stay in! Today was the first time that one of us had a doggy tummy and believe it or not it was jonny.... ive been ok soooo far!!!
21/10 = today we cycled42.27 miles to Ban Sahpen. Really bad day for me with dogs again!!! Nice day weather wise! Jonny has taught me how to play cribbage so we get beers and crips to take back to bungalow and play cards!!
22/10 = rest day, just chilled out and walked along the beach!
23/10 = well today was the day that every dog hated us!!! We some how came to another dead end today! so had to follow or trails. we still managed to cycle 55.85 and found a lovely hotel on the side of the high way!! Big room with air con only 450 baht !!!
Will continue another day .........
