We finally made it into the northern city and back to the bike shop where it had all began six days earlier. It had been an amazing adventure and had we all had more time to kill, we would have done another bike tour right then and there.
That afternoon the four of us rented two scooters from the same shop. We sped out to a nearby animal park / zoo which unfortunately was a bit disappointing. After our own week of freedom and independence, it was sad to see thing such as beautiful hawk mountain eagles built to soar the skies - kept in cages with barely enough room to spread their wings. From there we set off to a golf driving range to smack a few balls wish was good fun. Before we left I abused my poor little scooter and did an impressive doughnut on the gravel in the car park - much to Bridge's horror and my friends cheers - boys will be boys!
The next day after a morning of catch ups and note swapping, we said our goodbyes. Blake, an Aussie mate I'd made in the UK had been such a pleasure to travel with. He was an amazing character full of life and energy, never wanting to waste a single second of any day. We wished him well on his travels and hope that one day we will meet again.
Off to the airport we went, our flight was delayed by half an hour and again by 4 hours from Bangkok.
Our time in Thailand had come to an end and we were very sad as it had just been amazing. Anyway its onto Vietnam from here - new adventures to find and new people to meet.
After a very rough take off from BKK due to heavy rain and lightening, we were finally onto the second leg of our journey - VIETNAM BABY!
