Day 105, 91km: by Amy 

This man is frequently seen on the mud-flaps of many Thai, Laos and Chinese trucks
 (Looks like the lead singer of the Bee-Gees to me)
. He seems to be their version of the American reclining chrome lady.
 Does anyone know who he is and what he stands for?!?

Today we took the main road to cover some distance (the smaller roads were longer and convoluted). Unfortunately this meant a day with trucks and SUVs zooming past at warp speed. Thankfully there was a hard shoulder/moped lane which we utilised. Lunch was the highlight of the day sat by a lovely reservoir and I finished it off with the most spicy curry of the trip so far. Chris happily had non-spicy pasta.

    It's an old Al Pacino film about corrupt cops

    I'm enjoying the facial fuzz Crispin - you look like a hairy cornflake, keep it up!
