Sukhothai





So we arrived in Sukhothai yesterday evening and we are loving it. It's beautiful and we are so happy to be out of Bangkok. During dinner we were treated to a couple of locals riding elephants through town. Right there on the busiest street with cars whizzing by them. It was crazy. We were also visited by various frogs and geckos throughout our meal. We spent today biking through the ruins of Old Sukhothai a few miles outside of town. It was the capital of Siam a looooong time ago. The ruins date back to the 13th century. Check out our sweet rides. We are staying in a nice little bungalow in the middle of a garden. Enjoy the pics.

Yeah... its a sledgehammer...

Wow... love the new pics... the statue on the island looks so tranquil. You must be able to physically feel the history in a place like that. And what better way to see it than on two cruisers!!

Much love and envy...

Hi Jade - glad to see you guys are having a look. As you can see, Erik and I are doing some crazy off-road cycling here in SE Asia. It's pretty intense - you guys would love it. :)
