Route with pics

Woke up this morning and we didn't hear any rain. Yesss! But once we had packed all our bags and were ready to get some breakfast, it started again. Damn! So we put on our raincoats and went looking for something to eat. Yeah well, looks like they like to sleep longer here than they do in the other countries we've been in so far. We are used to find our daily noodlesoup at 6.30 am in the morning. Not in Thailand, or not in Nongkhai that is :) They all just open at 9am. So back to our guesthouse to wait for another hour and then breakfast. We found a good German bakery with cheap pasteries. Accompanied by a hot tea, since it was cold ;)
After that we started biking the road next to the Mekong to the West. Soon I (Line) realised that "it wasn't all that" biking in the rain. After 30 km we stopped at a 7eleven and talked about our plans. We decided that we've biked enough for this trip and that we'll cancel the plan of another 'biking-loop' in Thailand. So what we did was... bike the 30 km back to were we came from. Oops! Yeah well, like Ardan said: better this 30 km again than another 400 km which you don't like! True :) Before we went back to Nongkhai we bought a new Thai simcard.
When we arrived back in Nongkhai, we first went to the trainstation and bought the tickets for the sleeptrain to Ayuthaya tomorrow evening. After that we biked back to the center and looked for a new guesthouse. We found a very cosy one: wooden rooms, very clean, a welcoming hot shower, free breakfast and a very kind and helpfull owner 'Dann' (his name doesn't sound like it, but he is Thai :-) ). For dinner we had another noodlesoup somewhere on the street for 30 baht (0,75€) and.... Khaaw Niauw Mamwang (sticky rice with mango)!!!!
Yummie!! I was looking forward to this since we left Thailand more than 3 months ago! It was delicious!

Leuk om terug wat fotos te zien, heb de indruk dat jullie beiden een aantal kilootjes kwijt zijn.
