Dinner party with the locals!

Although the room they provided was a little 'tired' (cockroaches, stinky bed sheets, rats living in the bathroom etc), the host family invited us for supper where we sat around drinking rice vodkaLeggi altro

We had two lovely nights here in the four seasons hotel(see pic!) Hue is a pretty busy town with lots going on, the old walled city was bombed quite extensively by the Americans but the walls remainLeggi altro
Hai Vân

Just got to the north side of the Hai Van pass which is meant to be a spectacular road to drive, it goes up to about 500 meters on the coast so hopefully the weather will be good tomorrow. After 70kmLeggi altro
Hai Van Pass

An early start meant we tackled the pass while it was still relatively cool. An hour an a half of uphill and we were at the top. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

A hotel with a pool for nine pounds a night was a real treat! We had the best food here we have had in Vietnam I think. Quite touristy. But it means you get food without any bones in it!!
Back on the Ho Chi Minh highway
22 novembre 2016, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
After a great week of taking in some sights along the coast it was time to get back on the quieter highway. Was probably our toughest day at over 100 km and then a 400 meter climb at the end of it.
Forget yesterday, today was the hardest

Some great scenery today as we walked the bike up most of the hills. It was far too hot to cycle even by 8 am. The bike app said we did 2500 meters of vertical today (I think that sounds too much) butLeggi altro

As the coffee capital of Vietnam, of course Rosie's first choice of beverage was an Oreo frappacino as soon as we arrived!!! We had a days break here to relax after doing 500km in a week.

Selfies and coffee beans
30 novembre 2016, Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Basically on the middle of nowhere, which means westerners don't really stop here. Hence everyone is very keen to have selfies with the weird western people!!
Almost everyone has their crop of coffeeLeggi altro

After a 4am start and some lovely rush hour traffic into Ho Chi Minh (not recommended!) we finally made it to our hotel where we proceeded to have an hour and a half long massage for 5 pounds.
