I weighed myself today. I knew I'd lost some weight on my travels, but I was shocked. The combined weight of my backpack and bag is 18kg. Exactly the amount I've lost! When I left I was 120kg, now I'm a trim 102kg. Unbelievable! Maybe I should market the motorcycle travellers diet plan.
I finally found somewhere to get a haircut. Last night I wandered into the expensive Pacific Hotel to use their business centre to print my flight details. They were unaware I wasn't a guest and obliged. Given my attire, I'm surprised they let me enter in the first place. They have an in-house barber shop which I used the next day. Obviously I had to leave my two hairstylists at home through lack of room on the bike! When I wore a younger mans clothes, I would've been happy to use a trendy hair salon, but the styles they offer only seem to suit a full head of hair so I was glad to find a 'proper' gentleman's hairdresser.
I carefully lined up my dirty white trainers with the row of polished shoes outside of the spa entrance and was led to the barber. The view of the busy changing rooms in the mirror was a little disconcerting! I can't remember how long it's been since I had a cut-throat razor on my neck but he did an excellent job.
''Would Sir like it charged to your room?"
"Actually I prefer to pay cash thankyou!"
My trainers had been moved out of sight into a corner....
