Yay folks. All good on the skateboard front. Skateboarding in Thailand has been a breeze so far, not one day with bad pavement. On the other hand it's scorching hot. Dripping wet shirt scorching hot. From around eleven thirty on it's way too hot for skateboarding and we usually have our siesta (or still skate on for a while, depending on how far we already reached). From three on the temperature goes down again and skating continues.
In the evening we had the luck of finding a Wat (a buddhist monastery) each day that kindly allowed us to camp on their grounds. Very very hospitable those monks. To balance the heat, we usually tried to start our day rather early, and we hope to succesfully pull through this plan in the future... Being on the road at seven would be nice.
The landscape is a mixture of fish farming, shrimp farming, clam farming, conventional farming and in small parts, forest. And of course sometimes the ocean blinks through and tempts us with its blue, cold and refreshing looking waves.
Eventually we gave in and declared a one day break in a small beachside town, also because my feet have accumulated an impressive amount of blisters, even two on one toe! And paradoxically to the heat, Kyra somehow managed to get a cold.
Wildlife wise we saw a plethora of different snakes, all flat, numerous birds, all colourful, and many many dogs, all with healthy hindlegs for sprinting and a full set of white, clean teeths, which they showed to us proudly. So proud they even ran after us if they thought we didn't appreciate them enough.
If everything goes according to plan, we will reach Bangkok in another three and a half days skating, we'll report on that soon.
Cheers guys
