Day 87 Feb 22 After breakfast we walk in the general direction of the local village, only this time using the road instead of the beach... We are on the hunt for a moped to hire for the day, and it's not long before we have located one and we're on the road again with a twist and go Yamaha 135 that can only be a couple of years old at most... All for 200bt per day... That's around £3.65 It's been around a month since we sold the Vietnam bike and its nice t...

Day 86 21st feb It's about 4am and I'm awake.... This is not particularly unusual, the unusual aspect is that I'm not alone.... Shiree is also awake.... The local cats, that can't muster up the energy to even open there eyes during the day use the cool morning air to settle the differences, and there's obviously been a rift in the camp for some time.

Day 85 20th feb As 8 o'clock clicks by we're both awake....

We arrive by 09.10 and order a typically French breakfast of black tea with a Pain au Chocolat for me and black tea with a plain Croissant for Shiree... We sit down with the sole intention of blog and diary writing... The place has a good wifi network to which makes life easy.... We are here for hours and be...

Day 83 18th feb We awake from a good nights sleep... The hotel room is modern comfortable and clean so sleep is no issue.. We sit around the out door table to have breakfast.. You can tell the owner is western, the tea and coffee are great, and although the cereals are simple there just what you'd get at home... It's really nice, as are the owners themselves who we spend the next hour or more talking with.... Having had enough tea for one morning I take mysel...
