Just a short interim update
I made it out of Bangkok by taxi->train combination. Stayed in Rachaburi one night and left early in the morning by bike. Rode 80km to Phetchaburi where I am now staying at a very rustic guesthouse for only 120 baht a night! (about 3.50 US). Ride was very physically and mentally draining today, going to take it easy tomorrow. Rode on the main highway for half the trip out of lack of options and was not much fun. Have the image of beaches in my head luring me onwards. Hopefully find a beach I like and settle into a bungalow for a while.
I have much more detailed blog entries prepared in my phone and in my journal notes just don’t have time to get them in now. Just wanted to throw up a quick update though!
Working on getting pictures up too, have to source an SD reader. Tried at the hostel with someone elses SD reader and their computers were too slow to handle the pictures. I’ll see what I can do though.
