Another few hours of ballasting,

but the end nearly seems in sight,

having said that the bits between the rails still have to be done,

and this is the most awkward part that is difficult to reach,

coming along nicely though,

then a stop for a glass of orange before going to the market, this bar-b-q has an improvised chimney, imagine trying to get all of that on a three wheeler!

mussels in a bag to go,

Diana buys some of the 'Japanese plums',

this stall selling what looks like dried fish and vegetables,

bowls of boiling fat everywhere, it looks so dangerous,

fresh prawns,

we went further into the market than usual, of course there were some stalls selling things other than food,

also there was a bouncy castle for kids,

it was now getting late as you can see from the long shadows,

Diana saw the pants on the left and ask if she could buy them for this evening, so 240 baht later and we were ready to go, the lady recognized us as she previously worked in Champions,

there was also a small stall selling plants,

then on the way back I spotted this Kawasaki motor cycle, there seems to be more and more of these small wheeled bikes on the roads out here now,

after arriving home we settled down to watch Tombstone whilst we were eating our evening meal, for me good though this film was, dealing with the Earp's, I still preferred the film Wyatt Earp, it seemed to be to be better at documenting the times and lives of the Earp family and their friends and enemies,

then it was time to go Diana wearing her new shorts,

Walking Street was crowded with tour groups,

we made our way to Soi Diamond, again we decided to go to Carousel, after a few there we popped into see Grieg in Sweethearts and were joined by Jay and Precil, then off to see Juu and Big Jim in Champions, by about midnight we decided to call it a day and make our way home,

on the way back I spotted this police bike, complete with a metal tube welded onto the crash bar to hold a riot stick,

Juu very kindly offered us a lift home, Diana strikes the pose as we wait for him, then home for tea and medals, then off to bed.
