Last day in Udon Thani Thailand

This morning we took Chris's bike down to Mr Moto to have the fork seals replaced as these started leaking fork oil. Good thing to as there was not much oil left in the forks which would have made from some interesting bumps and braking on the trip.

Whilst Mr Moto was hard at work on the bikes, we headed back to the hotel for a massage and some more relaxing in the pool, sauna and spa! Tis a fabulously hard life we lead :)

After picking up the bike, we sat down with Mr Moto to complete the paperwork required to cross the border into Laos tomorrow. Fingers crossed we got it right for the always fun border crossing from Nong Khai Thailand to Vientiane Laos over the Thai - Laos friendship bridge.

We spent the afternoon catching up with a good friend in Udon before returning to the hotel to pack our top boxes for the journey. Thankfully we fit it all in with a little room to spare :)

Not much else to post about today but i'm sure that will change very soon!

Tomorrow will be a relatively early start after breakfast which should see us arrive at the border approx 10am, at which time we will begin the Laos border experience! Fun times!

Hopefully tomorrow's crossing will be uneventful and quick, we have done it a number of times but its easy to forget the process and end up wandering from building to building to get the approval to bring the bikes (and ourselves) into Laos where the real adventure begins.

Stay tuned for more updates over the coming days to let you all know how we are going.
