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 vodka Czytaj więcej

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

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) but Czytaj więcej

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!!

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. After Czytaj więcej
