Feeling better

Well now, we have been busy, we are currently in Vientiane the capitol of Laos getting new visas for Thailand and trying to get new tyres for the bikes which is proving to be a problem as the normal tyre size for trail bikes is 18in and Yamaha in their wisdom use 17 inch, we are heading north again up to Thailand so we will try again there, we know somebody in BKK so we will try to get them sent up to us.
We have had an amazing time here in Laos and have some great pics of the trails, mountains, rivers and caves here, the scenery is a lot more interesting than Cambodia thats for sure, we have met some great folks on the road, and have enjoyed the company of to name a few Mark and Cloe, Kim and Jonny , Evan and his partner , sorry the names gone, begins with an M.
The officials in Cambodia and Laos are great no problems at all.
We both fell off the bikes in Cambodia and I hurt my shoulder but its OK now , that Cambodia gravel is great to ride on but its slippy as hell when the gravel washes off , its just clay underneath.
as always I will try to put some pics on now, we,ll see if it works, hope all is well, we certainly are, P n B

Just so you know someone's looking at your posts .... Nice Laos pics. Read a bit more of Africa, down to Blantyre-ish area and the cops with the AK47's. Like I said, some journey you guys are on. These journeys often produce spiritual changes in people - but I'll not waste too much time looking out for signs of that in you two!

Hi guys

fantastic pictures!! Sorry to hear about both of you coming off your bikes, but I guess that this is the painful part of fun. However, I am glad to hear that it wasn't a major issue and that you are feeling better. Make sure that you have some arnica with you (it is a good pain relief).
Loads of love
