We were up early and said our thanks and farewells to Chay and Mae.

We made the U-turn and headed up the 3310. Normally any road that has 4-digits should be a quieter road, but not in this area of Thailand. We made it past the very large Mahidol university and headed on to quieter roads.

The roads that we followed today were the ones suggested by the guy yesterday. It was a nice rural route.  We had to stop a few times to check the iPad for the route. We did really well and only managed to take two wrong turns. Ralf is really frustrated about his Garmin not working. I must admit when it is working it makes life so much easier. We only have a couple of days left of cycling in Thailand, I think we will have to put up with stopping and checking the iPad.

Although it was a nice quiet route, Ralf only took a few photos.

Now I have to ask a question regarding wind-mill spotting – Do you think this is fair? Ralf is cycling behind me and obviously can see over my head, I am looking at a flower display and he calls a wind-mill. This is what he spotted!! Do you see the windmill, because I certainly didn’t until I saw it from this direction!

It is no wonder he has spotted 36 windmills to my 21. I am catching up with him, but when he sneakily spots wind-mills like this one, I don’t know what I can do!!

We are indoor camping again. The room isn’t too bad, but we are eating noodles and tuna fro dinner as there is nothing else in the area. We bought a tin of tuna that had peppers and basil as a sauce. My god, it was spicy!

An early night tonight, as we are heading on quieter roads again tomorrow to Kanchanaburi. We are taking the scenic route which adds about 10 kms to the trip. We think it will be worth it over riding on the 325 a busy two-lane highway.
