Day 99, 47km: by Amy

We took a short cut through Kaeng Tana national park which on google maps looked like roads but was actually 5km on rocky footpaths through the forest. The route also involved 2 very dodgy rusty suspension bridges with wooden slats to cross the river far below to reach an island and another to the far side of the second channel. There were rotten planks and slats missing. We walked tentatively and gently near the edge, nervously pushing our bikes over the gaps.
After this we had a hot ride with pretty views of a reservoir and an early finish at the tiny border town of Chong Mek where we spent the rest of the afternoon cooling down and eating. (In a moment of confusion, Chris got the exchange rate wrong and accidentally checked me into a nice hotel with air con - woohoo!)

  1. That looks like a bridge from my childhood nightmares. Weldone on getting a nice room, air con sounds like a necessity for a good night sleep.
