An Italian motorcycle gang conquers Koh Chang

admin

Our bocce group decided to get on our high-powered 125 cc motorcycles (scooters) to conquer the coffee plantations and the red bridges on the island. There is only one of each so it was an easy task.

this is what a geriatric Italian motorcycle gang looks like
here we are in our uniforms. Actually one of us is Swedish and the other one, me, is, I don’t know.
The espresso is from coffee beans from the shop’s plantation, organically grown of course
the espresso
an expensive imported Italian coffee maker
doesn’t every coffee shop have ice cream?
we did not all run out of gas. Actually we got out from the main traffic to see the plantation
here is one of the coffee trees at caffeine central
and here is another tree
some fruit
well cared for fruit
lollypop helmets are very popular here (NOT)
rubber tree sap, very liquid until it dries into a solid blob
a sample home for this development and sales office. WOW!
some of us went to the coconut shell shop
lots of coconut shell souvenirs

Fabio is so happy to be able to go to a temple

the main temple in the area
baskets of goodies and necessities for the monks
Here we are. At least some of us
Lucio, what are you doing?
another temple, building is in progress
it has an imitation emerald buddha
when finished it will look like this. these giant Buddhas are built to be tourist attractions all over asia.
walking to the restaurant for lunch
you can take a trip up the river
get on the boat here
sending messages to each other, the only modern way to socialize
Wow! a lot of work for a small bit of crab meat. not what i expected.
