Visit Yok

Today we went to visit Yok, this is her grandparents' restaurant next to her house?
Yok was pleased to see us.
We met her brother today for the first time and watched them play.
The whole family live here. Yok's grandparents, her aunty, her mum and Yok with her brother.
This is their basic kitchen.
 And that's their broken roof.
We are planning on giving some of the money to Yok to help her grandparents upgrade her the restaurant so they can earn more money to be able to pay for Yok and her brother to go to school.

Fantastic support!

Thank you so much to Mr Dean Barrick. He thought my challenge was amazing so he told all his friends and they gave B27,000! That's over £500. Thanks Mr Dean for sharing my blog.

T2T2.0 Day 8 Leaving Laos


We set off from our hotel and made it to the border in just under an hour.

We had a bit of rain before we got to the bridge so it was cooler and easier.
A train which carried about 5 people went by whilst we were waiting to go over the bridge.

After we went over the bridge, we had to 
cross over the rails. The rails were slippery and three of us fell off our bikes. It was a bit of a shame after riding 677km to fall off on the last 1km!
So the challenge is complete!

T2T2.0 Day 7 Challenge Complete

Finished T2T 2.0 today!
A day early!!
Reached 600km but ended up doing more, like we did for the last T2T Challenge.
Last juice stop in Thailand, we saw a big pelethon going the opposite direction which was cool.
Cliff had no re-entry permit. So he was happy to leave us at the border.
Quick selfie with the minibus that went to Laos.
Some Geocaching on the Thailand and Laos friendship bridge!
Finally in Laos but on the opposite side of the road which is a bit confusing.
Crazy Vientiane traffic!

The Victory Gate just in sight.

We did 110km today which beats my record of 108km from the last T2T!
We had chicken for breakfast today which was a bit odd since it was mostly bones but it lasted us till our next stop.
We reached the 500km point today aswell!
The school bus at 7/11!
555km!!
Having a snooze at 7/11 seemed like a good idea to these two untill we attepted to leave them there!
We did a bit of Geaocahing at a big milestone.
Having a nice western style dinner tonight of fish 'n' chips with peas and gravy!!!
Another great day. Not far to go tomorrow.

T2T2.0 Day 5

Another 100km added to our total!!
Today started off with much cooler weather.
There was less sun than we expected,
and rained a bit later on after we had a cold 7/11 breakfast because of a power cut.
Striding for perfection after we hit the 400km point on our ride.


Met a man who was amazed at the hight of James Gray!

Waiting for our delicious lunch to arrive!
Had a puncture.  :(
Found a swing at our resort (Seawealai resort) and spent about 10 minutes on it!
Now we are about to enjoy our Korean BBQ meal buffet!!!
