Our wonderful support crew!

 They fed and watered us, serviced our bikes, changed flat tyres, made sure we were always where we were meant to be, took our bags to our rooms each night before we arrived, laughed with us (and at us!), sang and danced with us!! What amazing people that we will never forget!!
The support crew leader, Kuhn Gai. Always finding the sneaky spots to take photos of us!
Tony thanking Eat and Pong for their support during the ride.
Isn't this the most beautiful smile that you've ever seen?

Some pics from along the way

One of the schools that we passed by and couldnt resist a play!

Lunch........ Did I say we were doing it tough?






The Mekong River is just amazing, and we rode on its banks for most of our 8 riding days! The lifestyle of those that live by it is so differtent to ours, yet the similarities are also there. In a paddock next to the road we saw a farmer ploughing his paddock with water buffalo, and he was on his mobile phone!!





Some of the beautiful Thai children waiting for their bus!!








Thai Rice wine.............Ugghhhh!


Mae Thiew - What an amazing, inspirational and beautiful woman!! She has touched the lives of so many, saved the lives of even more, and changed my life forever!!
