Monkeys cannot be trusted. Unpredictable and can be verocious! I had some bad experience as a soldier in Malaysia and as a tourist in Thailand.

I hope the raindancers take a rest. Let the wheels roll.

Thank you very much, Steve! Most importantly my best wishes to Dodie: speedy recovery and all the best for the upcoming operation! I know it is a different issue but not that long ago I had to have two operations to my shoulder and had basically given up on cycling. I hope she will see the same turnaround... My trip is not going to "schedule" so far - entire change of route due to an airline problem and now a rather wet first couple of hundred kilometers. But Hey, I can turn the pedals!

Hey Frankie - we will be happy to follow your new adventures as we are only doing short rides near home all winter since Dodie is still recovering 2 months after knee replacement surgery and the second knee is due to be done early in the new year. Have a great ride and keep that blog going..

Das schaut ja noch netter aus als vor zehn Monaten. Die Terrasse behuebscht und dekoriert, mit der etwas laestigen Baustelle links scheint es mittlerweile vorbei zu sein

Hope you have a great trip, Frank! I totally agree on the value of keeping a journal, for oneself as well as for others. I am looking forward to following you in the Land of Smiles.

They should meet you in Penang for a farewell dinner. Let's twist Bob's arm, again.

These two gentlemen spend more time together than most married couples, Chris. I do not have the slightest of concern they will be able to entertain themselves in my absence. But seriously: The change of route doesn´t bother me at all as for the first ever a daily average of 30 km will take me into Penang in time.Letting them (and Mark who was going to join in too) down is what I am really upset and embarrassed about

I say Frank, what are your other 2 accomplices going to do, since you've abandoned the north ?
Eat more ice cream at Swensens !
Have a safe, good trip and don't ride too fast. 😋

Dear Gabi, dear Jan, the only answer I can think about is "Back to my roots". I started my SEA cycling career with Koh Samui training camps while still being a competitive triathlete. Ages ago..... What you will be more surprised about is the entire change of plan. A massive delay with my Eurowings flight made me cancel my trip to Chiang Rai and I will be reporting from Hua Hin starting Saturday. I can almost see you yawning, Jan!
