Ruth:
Our last days of riding included a night at a chocolate farm and a final stretch of ripening rice fields full of birds. Bangkok is always hot; at 34 degrees and high humidity we were happy to relax by the pool and do very little.
We are now sitting in the Vancouver Airport waiting for our third and last flight home. We are looking forward to seeing friends, drinking tap water and petting our cat.

Amen! Welcome home to snow and no chicken-gunkya.
Welcome back. Always good to put a safe trip in the memory bank.
Welcome home. Enjoy the snow!
Thanks John, yes the white cold world was a bit of a shock.
What a trip, and what a re-entry to Vancouver Island.
I’m sure you will settle in nicely and your kitty will be happy to see you, after being a bit standoffish.
Bon retour
Thanks for sharing your beautiful adventure
