Long Way Up Day VII

---

Challenges will be remembered, not the normal days

This is what I thought when we arrived today to our local Honda dealer. They said that getting the plates will take one more week. We managed still to negoatiate the time down so that we will get the plates on saturday 10pm. By the way you cannot favour the officials, or at least we could not. Better not to try, if you dont know how.

Amazing race

After discussions in Honda shop I drove behind a local guy through whole Bangkok to the register officials. We averaged ca. 80kmh per hour. I have never driven bike like that. It was amazing we sneaked through short cuts, yards, houses and again we where on the big road heading 130kmh through Bangkok. After we came back my hands where shaking and swetting. I have driven fast with the bike before, but not in such a traffic.

Overnight

We found a really nice beautiful place on the riverside Cafe Lampu *250 baht per night. We setled our camp here and tommorow we will see more Bangkok.

take care!
Siellä liikkuessa tuntuu, että ihmisillä on silmät ympäri päätä! On todella ihmeellistä mien kolareita on niin vähän - MUTTA on myös hyvä muistaa, että Thai-vankila on yksi pahamaineisimmista maapallon päällä, joten sinne ei kannata liikennerikoksenkaan takia mennä. Toivottavasti saatte tänään rekisterikilvet, jotta matka pääsee jatkumaan suunnitelmien mukaan t i

question
what's in the glass? Is that a special paste to glue envelopes?
