A very brief catch-up post.
I bought my own ticket out for the day after Lucinda flies, scheduled for a week after my friend arrives.
So first we do the awesome easy thing and get a longtail to tour the canals for an afternoon. Up the river
Past traffic
And into the canals
Same as before, Ballardian
Big-ass lizard thing, maybe 4 feet long
Granny out for a paddle
Feeding the catfish
Into a lock where we waited for 20 minutes
Our suddenly pensive driver. A few minutes earlier he was being manic
Did some shopping. My friend needed a new cell phone which she got at the collosal MBK for about $20. A perfect Apple iPhone clone.
The classic Honda Grom
On that theme, motards and scooters at night. Fantastic. When I’m back I’ll do a Bangkok night ride with the big dogs

My friend’s feet. I’ll miss her crazy ways. We had some great adventures in Laos and Thailand. Safe travels M
And off, back to Vancouver
Via Narita
Picking up Lucinda the following day at YVR, after a quick visit to ICBC for a new decal. Fantastic packing job by Transpologistics. We picked Speedy Air Cargo to receive, couldn’t have been slicker. So a strong recommendation for them too. Customs at the airport didn’t even want to see the bike, just signed us through in under a minute
Then, home sweet home
