Day 15 Mon 12/07 - Rest Day in Ranong

Today Spending : 455 baht
Total  : 4915 baht

Morning wake up at 9am after watching the world cup final between Spain and Nederland. The 1st first was rather boring as both teams played very cautiously with hard tackles, the referee finds it tough to control as he flashes yellow cards like no other. The 2nd half was more lively as Spain piled on the pressure,the Nederlander relied on fast counter attack with long passes to their free flowing Roben at the wing .Spain mastermind Puyol is always sticking to him like a leech. The game went into extra time,penalties shootout seems unavoided,suddenly Spain nail Nederland with the final blow with only minutes left.The octopus is right and I am right. At 11 am did some updates on the net while Brent sort out his visa extension,by taking a boat across to Myammer and re-enter with 14 days stay.We got the chance to service our bikes at a bike shop near the hotel. For 60 baht,they did a cleaning on the front/rear hubs,derailers ,chain and general body cleaning, we gave 100 baht and 40 is tips for the worker. The bike shop owner Sittipong is a tourer himself and had done Laos/Vietnam touring. He has a good collection of old/new bikes in the shop
