22/03: biking around BKK trying to sell our bikes

This morning we went to a bikeshop which Ardan called yesterday, they were maybe interested in buying our bikes....When we got there and said our price (1000€, but negotiable) the guy quickly said that it was way too much. He could only offer us 125€...mmmm, not! Our bikebags alone are worth more than that! Thanked the guy and decided to try 1 more bikeshop. This guy didn't buy second hand bikes, but we could place the bikes in his bikeshop for sale. He would however ask us for 1000baht/bike to clean and check them and when he sells the bikes he would ask 10%. It's quite normal that he wants to have some money for it, but after talking with him for a while, he kinda convinced us that it was better to take them back home. We just wouldn't get the price we wanted here he said. So left the bikes & bags in the shop so they can pack them.

Hopefully we don't need to sent stuff home through the post & we can take all our remaning luggage with us as cabine-luggage...Our bikebags are also getting packed in the bikebox package, so we needed to buy new bags for the remaining weeks of travel. In any case, dragging a bike bag along was not an option. So we set off & finally bought 2 Karana waterproof bags (30l & 40l) which we hope are big enough to get everything home, but not too big since it has to be allowed as handlugage? We'll see...ended the day by booking a bus down south to Koh Phangan where white sands, palms, hammocks & according to the lastest weatherforecast, lots of rain! are awaiting :-( Dry season? Not for now! Hopefully is doesn't last too long, Line wants to work on her tan a bit, time to loose those bikeshirt/sandal marks!
