Dead snakes, dogs, heat and fun!

Last two days I pushed the 100Km barrier, for both logistical reasons as well as personal. It feels good to nail the 100 mark, but you feel your ass going numb while you're at it. The pains you get, which you did not know existed, joy. Total 436Km.

Yesterday was a lot of fun. Riding on a small highway close to the Gulf of Thailand, little traffic and friendly locals along the way. People are so nice, they offer free food, water, money and sometimes thier daughters. That's when I have to explain that there's no space on the bike, why did I take the extra gear, stupid!!!

Moment of observation.
When the locals see you they either:
A. Rub thier eyes
B. Smile and say Hello
C. Look at you as "What the f**k is he doing here"
D. Or the usual 'Farang','Yo' or 'Yo Farang'
p.s. Mostly they smile.

The scenery was amazing with rice paddies in the foreground and mountains in the background, with excellent roads, needles to say, it was one of the days to remember. No rain while riding, the monsoon appears to be over, which is an excellent sign. Wait, as soon as I write this, the rain will come down for the next week. haha.
No flats yet, just messed up gears which I fixed an hour ago.

The great food in the south has been reduced to 'Kow Pot', rice and seafood or some surprise Thai specialty. Ususally good but the flies are also fighting for your dinner. I really want a hamburger once a while, hmmm burger! Prices of accommodations went down to about $4-$5 cnd a night, food and beer is cheap.

Number of dogs that have chased me, about 10, I either outrun them or yell at them and they go away. They only seem to bark at white people, hmmm. A lot of dead snakes on the road and some dead dogs as well.

Ok, cheers for now.

P.S. Sorry for all the spelling mistakes, the Thai spell check is not a good tools for English language.
