Left our hotel around 9am said our emotional goodbye to Chow nice hug and a picture with the group. Said bye to the dutch family we had been with also through Chow. Chow would still ring us through the day seeing how we were getting on. I had a scare I left my blue card for my bike in Bac Kan when getting my bike fixed so had to urgently arrange for it to go to 'Mr Tony' in Hanoi as we were heading there tonight and I couldn't sell my bike at the end of the month in Vietnam without it. Rode with the couple we have been with they have a super quality camera and have took our email addresses to send the pictures over they have taken of us they look so good! We left them as we were getting to the bus station to book our tickets to Hanoi as we were now leaving north Thailand and heading south. They have a job in Phuket running a brand new restaurant in a few months time so have said we can come for discount drinks ha :) All bikes had just about survived the horrible roads the stones and bumps etc I don't know how they are still going our asses and backs are f***ed from the treatment of it all! Bus station was a mountain of stress. A guide was sorting everything out but was biting off more than he could chew and was just a big hassle at the bus station. Eventually we got our bikes on the buses and our luggage onboard and got on the sleeping bus. Freezing cold air con as per I was right at the front on a top bunk always getting woken up I got tapped several times as my beats were too loud ha but karma bit me when I was always getting woken by the workers on the bus walking past and pushing me and at 2am one worker he pulled my pillow from my head and gave it to a local?! Was like here, give me a pillow pal!
