16/11: Short, Hard Bike & Hamock Time

On Ko Chang you can really hold a genuine cycling classic in true flemish honor!
The winding road goes up & down like a furious hell vixen. Some climbs are ridiculously steep, with hairpin turns on which the inner curve is totally impossible to ride up. Even cars don't use the inner curve on some because the cars can not make the inclination angle!

So after having biked 2 bays further down (about 10km ups & downs) to Ao Bai Lan, we decided to call it a day :-)
There is no need to bike any further down the island anyway...we have everything we want here.

Very nice guesthouse/bungalow resort? (Paradise Cottage) with sweet lounge music on the terras, elevated open huts with hammocks to relax in while looking out on the palm tree lined ocean. All with drinks and food in arms reach. A bit over budget for every day, but we have to enjoy our stay on the island, right?

    

Since we did not go diving on the south coast we booked a full day snorkeling trip for tomorrow to a remote Coral island (Ko Rang) as compensation. We also already decided to take a 'pickup taxi' back to the pier instead of biking it back the day after tomorrow. That way we will at least not be destroyed by the time we start biking on the thai mainland again.
