Phanat Nikhom to Ko Sichang

I should start this post by exclaiming that the Pacific Ocean is still there because I saw it with my own eyes. I even floated on it for fifty minutes on a passenger ferry to get to the island of Sichang. I then proceeded to swim in it after I got a room. So there, for a moment though I thought I was biking to the edge of the world!

Yesterday the headwinds continued North as I traveled South to the coast. My legs have been getting progressively tired with each day, and that headwind just doesn't help. But I made it regardless of ache and pain. I rode my bike 79km yesterday (that includes the ferry). I guess like 75km not including the ferry making the trip total to 1566km.

This is my island.

It's probably not the most beautiful island nor has it the most beautiful beaches. The thing it had going for itself was how close it was to me. But after exploring it a bit yesterday it does have its own little charm. It was inflating to jump into the ocean after such a battle to get here.

I have also decided to stay an extra day and night here. I know I am time restricted but I feel for my well being that one more day here won't be the worst idea. It just means a 100 plus km day tomorrow which wont be terrible and another big day after that. Then I will be comfortably near the border with about a day to spare to take in some of the sights.

I think I will do another post tonight to add some photos. I hope to see a sunset this evening and hopefully with that some stunning photos.

Anyway, I'll get back to nothing and enjoy it.
