Lonely Departure Day

Departure day is upon us. Due to trans-shipping problems in Singapore for the 4 cars coming from Australia they have not arrived and only left Singapore for Bangkok yesterday.  If all the Customs clearances go well the rest of the group will leave Bangkok on Tuesday for a hectic drive to the Chinese border. We are due at the Chinese border to meet our guide and do all the paperwork on the Thursday, so the rest should be caught up by then. Penny came to Bangkok from the UK so was not with the same shipping line and route so didn’t caught in Singapore.

We are still leaving as planed taking the scenic route up to Laos and will await at the Chinese border for the rest to arrive, as we are all required to cross as a group.

Yesterday was a day of a long tail boat ride on the river and canals in the morning plus a visit to a local market, then sorting the car late in the afternoon to get everything to fit ready for our departure this morning.
