I was awaken very early by the restaurant workers' noises and movements as they prepare for opening business.We quickly packed up as we were camping on their compound.Before we go,we ordered hot drinks from them as we still have our morning foods.The ride out from the park was rather boring as most of the scenery the same,furthermore I was riding without my sunglasses for the 1st time.What a coincidence! as Brent also lost his yesterday.The funny thing is,both have no idea where and when,and how we lost them? Brent wanted very much to stop in Hua Hin to look for a bike shop to replace the derailleur housing and that mystery "tak...tak..." sound.And ended spending a solid 3 hours to locate a bike shop and only managed to repair the derailleur housing.Hua Hin is very touristic,full of "farlang" means white men in Thai. I was not in the mood to continue as my muscles has rested too long,but Brent wants to continue,so we rode for another 40km to Cha'Am.All the accommodations were located along the beach,our guesthouse ( no name) cost 300baht,the cheapest I guess.

                         The sea started to get rough with dark cloud looming close

                                 And the beach is quiet down after a short rain
