Today (2nd May) we left Bangkok by boat travelling upthe main river in Thailand to reach a villlage where we were greeted by villagers who conducted a ceremony for us.

Such rituals are reserved for very special occasions and by no means someting for tourists. So we all felt very honoured, and we had threads tied around our wrists to help keep the spirit in.

After that we collected our bikes, had our own saddles fitted and tested them out. Tomorrow the proper cycling begiins with a 50 mile ride. I'm keeping the thread around my wrist!
