Meeting a Thai Hero
When we first started doing long distance cycling I honestly wondered if we'd be the first people to cycle from Alaska to Ushuaia - haha - just goes to show my naivety.
Mr Preecha Pimpan is the first (and apparently only) Thai to have successfully cycled around the world. He did it in 2 trips, one in the 40's (if I recall correctly) and

So who usually pays for the bridges?
We've cycled over quite a few bridges now in Cambodia which is a GORGEOUS change after Laos where we usually had to push our bikes through the river.

Spiderman converts us to being Obana Fans
Today I have instantly become a fan of Obama.
What swung me after months of neutrality was the following email from Spiderman.

global warming is genocide.
At the end of this year world leaders meet in
Millions of people are already playing a part to reduce their personal emissions, but we cannot succeed without urgent and significant action by world leaders.
Let's remember, the solution is simple:
- Stop cutting down trees. Plant more trees.
- Make everything energy efficient.
- Only make clean energy.
Because I know you care and are prepared to act for our climate, I have asked www.onehundredmonths.org to send you their monthly email. It is brief, includes useful information, inspiration and effective actions. You can unsubscribe at any time.
My deepest thanks.
We climb on.

Back in Hanoi
Yep - we're back in Hanoi. While we were in Ho Chi Minh we heard about the floods in Hanoi but luckily everything had dried out by the time we got back - well almost.
The train arrived an hour late on our return (yes we left Pepe and Hanoi back in Saigon - we'll miss them wobbling around on them) beacuse on the outskirts of Hanoi the train tracks were stil submerged in water so the train entered Hanoi at tortoise speed. A whole chunk of south Hanoi was still without electricity & people were rowing around in small boats.
But otherwise Hanoi was ok - well apart from our old house in Doi Can. We went there a couple of nights ago to catch up & have a few drinks - the deepest water was right outside our old house's gate. Of course this wasn't rainwater anymore - the sewers had backed up and the stink was - well you can imagine that for yourself. We were informed that the water hadn't yet subsided since the flooding. The general consensus was that the drains had been blocked by the rats who'd drowned in the floods.
