I woke up later than usual, but that was planned. But what happened after was not in the plans at all. I get on my bike after having a 711 breakfast of canned coffee and some sort of pastry. I am riding my bike along the River Chao Phraya, the same river that flows through Bangkok, and it is super peaceful. I see a couple cycle yuppies biking along going the other direction. I nod and wave to everyone of them. I get a couple thumbs up. I am about 5 or 6 kilometers from my hotel when I start to get this super painful knot in my stomach. I immediately pull over and use a poor shops toilet. I am in a terrible state all of a sudden and I know that the only place for me today is in close proximity of a washroom. I've got to get back to my hotel. After graciously saying thank you I jump on my bike and pedal in a hurried manner all the way back to my hotel. I just made it ;)
Anyway that's why I am not biking today. I am actually quite bummed out about it because I really want to get to the coast. I only have 10 days left in Thailand and one of these days is sort of used up in a shitty way. (all these puns were deliberate)
I am currently feeling better, even though every time I walk away from the hotel I count the steps (not really). So tomorrow to Lopburi, no matter what!
