One Last Trip...

On Friday, Mike and Vicky proposed a last 1-day trip to Kanchanaburi. We left on Sunday at about 2 in the afternoon and arrived in Kanchanaburi at about 5. We dropped our stuff off at the Blue Star Guesthouse and rented motorcycles. We drove for a couple of hours until it was dark. The next morning we headed out of Kanchanaburi towards Erawan falls, which are about 60 km north of Kanchanaburi. We didn't want to pay the entrance fee for the falls so decided to check out some caves, but didn't want to pay that entrance fee either so just biked around on random roads. Down one gravel road we saw a picture of Jesus, so went over a fallen-down barbed wire fence to check it out. It ended up being the 14th station of the cross. The last thing we were expecting to come across after a 2 hour bus ride and an hour motorcycle ride away were the stations of the cross. The stations were part of the Tabor prayer center. It looked pretty deserted and a little run down. On our way back to Kanchanaburi, about 40 km from the city, Mike got a flat tire on his motorcycle so he had to call the rental company to come pick him up. Got back home at about 7 Monday night. Played our last game of poker with the gang. Probably one of the first times that Mike and Vicky walked away with winnings. Went to the grand palace downtown the morning with Craig, Michelle, and her dad. In the afternoon cashed out my bank account for a Canadian dollars check, which took like 2 hours to do. Had to say goodbye to Erin, Jordan, Mike, and Vicky as they are headed south to Koh Taruotau, the island where survivor was filmed. I hope to see Erin and Jordan at their Edmonton wedding in August and hopefully Mike and Vicky will be able to go to the wedding also.
