Spice Roads III

Our cycling tour continued on the island. We stopped at the docks on the island and enjoyed some drinks here. I look a picture of one of the local ladies:


The dock area:


After resting, we headed out again, this time, stopping at a lovely park with a huge fish pond. Here, our guides fed the fish and I snapped a picture of some local children, also feeding the fish:


The tour ended at 17.30. A fellow cyclist had brought along a trip meter, and he noted that we had traveled 20 kilometers on this tour!! For those who are interested in trying a bicycle tour, some further information can be found HERE(Spice Roads Website).

Regarding this "Bangkok Jungle Tour", some information that is not posted on the website, but I would consider valuable knowledge:
- You will have to carry your bicycle at times. There are some wooden bridges, obstacles, and boat ramps along the route.
- Bring some pocket money for the water market.. you can pick up some cold drinks and ice cream here.
- Sunscreen is a MUST.
- A helmet, bike and one bottle of water are provided. I wouldn't hesitate to bring an extra bottle of water. We all drank our water very quickly.
- Getting a camera mount for your bike is a great idea. One guy brought his, and could take video while cycling. Brilliant idea!

I am already considering a bike tour of Vietnam now...^_^ Nice!
