After spending the last three months cycling over 5000 km in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia our cycling journey in Southeast Asia is nearing its end. We had a beautiful time. Cycling across Asia has been fascinating in many ways. The experience has been culturally rewarding and the people very friendly. We loved the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, the rugged mountainous landscape in northern Laos, the emerald green rice paddies of Vietnam and the amazing food of Thailand. The cycling was at times spectacular and at times chaotic. We found cycle touring and travelling in Southeast Asia to be extremely easy, maybe even a bit too easy.
We have now been on the road for 14 months, the task of getting home is upon us. We’ve had an amazing time; our only regret is that it couldn’t be longer. We found reasonably priced tickets back to Canada; we now somehow need to find the courage to actually purchase them. Sigh.
P.S. For those of you out there reading and hopefully enjoying our blog, this is your last chance to keep the dream alive. So please, send money. SEND MONEY NOW!!! Er…sorry. That just slipped out 
.
P.S.S. We’re just kidding about the money…but of course we wouldn’t want to insult anybody by saying no.
P.S.S.S Okay, okay, seriously. We are just joking about the money…but it wouldn’t stop us from cashing a checque.
P.S.S.S.S. Did we mention that we have lost all sense of shame?

Hi Diana,
It was great hearing your voice the other day. We wish you and Pepe were here too. It was a last minute decision, but we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. We will see you soon.
