DAY 3 on the bike - somewhere south of Bangkok!
Great day on the bike! Spirits high, tunes were tuning, legs were turning, sun was shining, roads are unreal - some cost, some residential jungle back roads - all a delight!
1. Sunrise (Bex sent me this, I pretended I was there 🤣 - I need more sleep than Bex!)
2. Said goodbye to our two new pals even if one did destroy my flip flop
3. Morning brief at 0.25 mile - Bex’s legs 8/10, mind 10/10
4. 1/2 mile down the road - Puppy stop (and wonder why it’s taking us the whole day to do 50km 🤣)
5. Second brief at 1 mile - after hearing Bex moaning a bit - legs have declined rapidly to a concerning 3/10.
6. Another day, another water crossing
7. 8 and 9. The only place nearby when we got t0 20km (which is our first stop point usually) was a bungee hotel - most expensive mango smoothie ever even by uk standards. So we stayed for an hour to get our money’s worth enjoying the view on stripey bean bags!
10. New digs - we do like a pool so try to find accomodation with one. Pool was ok. Room was huge but like a prison cell - bit weird, oh well! £20 for the room.
11. Poolside recovery taken seriously!
Decided we are great cyclo tourers and a great team and spent the day working out how we can take a year off to go around the world!
