Just before Lunch yesterday Reg and I headed to the Customs house and port to collect Penny.
We arrive just before lunch to sign some paper work and promise to pay the Thai government 3,000,000 Baht if I didn’t take the car out of Thailand in 30 days. Just as the paperwork was signed we where told that we then had to wait till after lunch to come back at 1.30. The shipping agent took us to the port office staff canteen for lunch which was like a food market were we walked around and decided on our local lunch. Reg and I chose some rice and fried mackerel pieces which turned out to be cold. We were a little apprehensive but to our surprise it was a great meal – as we still had it 2 hours later!!
On return to the customs houseafter lunch there was more signatures and photocopying before we headed to the warehouse and port for car collection. We waited in the shade of a tree for an hour for a reason that became clear in the end. Our agent had to find the custom inspector that was to release the car. When he turned up I was expecting that we would need to unpack the car for an inspection, but he was only interested in a photo shoot and a couple more signatures. before we where on our way. 
When we where taken to Penny in the warehouse I was most relieved to finally be reunited with her and for her to start with the first push of the button. Even the customs inspector was excited with how well she started.
It was then a 7.2k drive back to the hotel! How-ever this became a 15.8k trip with a couple missed freeway exits and poor instruction from the GPS.
Hopefully we will sort our Navigation before heading north on Saturday.
