Terminating Thailand

How exciting, we got our little heads down today and managed 87km to bring us to Sa Kaeo.  It was really tough, head winds slight uphill and very long, very straight roads.  Much the same as riding around Darfield, Sheffield in Canty.  Lots of food stops got us through though, don't they always!  We met a lovely lady (Roongjit) at lunch who is an English teacher and was so helpful she gave us her email (in case we get into difficulties) and also her brother's - he lives in the border town and would help us if we had any problems there.  It is so uplifting to meet such kindness and friendliness along the way.   Also it was great to see our friends from Bangkok with the cycle shop have put a link onto their webpage with our pictures, you will have to use the translator as it is all in Thai and even then in doesn't quite work, but you get the idea. http://www.airwalkfixed-thailand.com/  So thanks for that.

Big news on the Thomas front.   We have booked our tickets to the UK and only have 4 and a half weeks left to do everything we wanted to.  So if you answered the question on the front of the blog - Will they make China by August - the answer is almost.  We are flying out of Hanoi, but will probably undertake some of the journey by train or aeroplane.  We are just researching the must dos so any ideas would be greatly appreciated, at the moment it is looking like South Coast Cambodia and Mekong Delta with perhaps some Vietnam beaches thrown in, prob east of Ho Chi Minh then some Halong Bay (near Hanoi).   Who knows we change our mind fairly frequently!
