So I have been told that I need to tell you all, about my mad bike riding skills. Really, I am terrible. So I have not been on a bike in like ten years but Marianne and I wanted to go into town for a coffee. It was so worth it, the caramel coffee was amazing.
The Bike Ride
So I go out and get on the bike and instantly I started to laugh, which doesn’t help. It has a basket in the front and all I could think of was the scary chick from the Wizard Of Oz riding her bike down the lane as the creepy music played . After I gained my composure we started on our way. I was swerving and wobbling down the dirt/mud road. So finally I started to feel a bit confidant and remembered how much fun bikes could be. Then I saw the road!! I have talked about the roads here before. You can imagine how I felt, still a bit wobbly(from sheer terror) as we joined the multiple motorbikes, trucks and tuk-tuks. If only there had been someone behind me video taping the whole scene. It could be the most watched video on you tube or whatever in 24 hours, it was quite comical. I was the locals entertainment for the month. One of the tuk-tuk drivers said something as he passed by and started to laugh. I am sure that my eyes were huge and my eyebrows raised to the sky. I was gripping the handles so hard that by the time we got to the coffee shop my arms were shaking. hahaha Oh My I still laugh just thinking about it. After dodging potholes and mud holes that are who knows how deep, staying upright and watching other drivers. We arrived at the coffee shop in one piece, we had AC and an icy cool towel with some type of peppermint extract waiting for us. That in its self was worth it. Well I am going to sleep talk to you all later. :]
