Kanchanaburi to Phetchaburi

Friday 18/02/14, 137km

Mostly quiet roads until Ratchaburi this morning. The first section in particular was very scenic, following an irrigation river with steep hills to one side and rice paddies galore. Wat Tham Suea (a Buddhist monastery) loomed over the fields in the distance looking very much like Mont St Michel in Normandy.

Unfortunately after Ratchaburi it was highway 4 and as you might guess from it's low number that's a wee bit busy. I'd been feeling a bit off colour all day, a combination of poor sleep, a hangover and general fatigue and a three lane highway didn't help matters. Still, made it in one piece, ate and slept, ready for sight seeing and hospital visits on the morrow.

A Chinese cemetery

OK a little like Mont St Michel

I'm not entirely sure I trust spiritual leaders who look like Dr Who villains
