Distance travelled - 46 miles/74 km’s Yesterday we smelt hot, well today we looked hot after riding through the dirt, mud and rain!! We’ve hit 278km and I think it’s safe to say we’ve cycled into paradise! Keeree Waree Resort in Ban Krut is absolutely stunning.

After several phone calls from friends, some very tight hugs goodbye and words of encouragement ... read more
