• Day 296: Village Bike Ride & Train

    1. november 2024, Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F

    Early start with breakfast at 7am. We rode the tiny boat back to the island and picked up bikes to cycle to a small village. The views were spectacular and we got to ride through a cave. Once we arrived to the village, we went into a small restaurant to learn about island life.

    There was a cute dog and the guide quickly grabbed it and put it in Mary’s backpack. At the restaurant, our guide taught us about different drinks which included a poisonous snake wine, flower wine, and herb wine. We took the three shots! We also did the official foot bath where little fish come and eat your dead skin.

    The biking was fun except Cami had a habit of getting close to talk and almost crashed with us. We cruised back and enjoyed the few precious moments we had left with our squad. We agreed to meet Barbara and Max down the road in Hoi An.

    After arriving to the pier, we took a bus back to Hanoi and jumped on a night train at the recommendation of Barbara and Max. It was pretty swanky.
