Kon Tum to Kham Duc to Hoi An

We spent a couple of days riding from the mountains to the sea. It was nice to get back on the bikes again. Beautiful, smooth roads through mist shrouded mountains and really green terraced valleys.

We bumped into a couple of Bay Area guys riding bicycles north to south.

Our overnight in Kham Duc was a pleasant taste of Vietnamese small town life. Not many tourists around. Place had been a major base for Special Forces during the war. Good to see it had returned to normal. The food was definitely 'farm to table'.

We took a side road into Hoi An through the Binh Dinh valley that varied from barely single track four lane highway. Again, a major place of battle during the war, actually in wars for a few millennia. Battles against the Chinese and battles between various Vietnamese dynasties. This area has again returned to normal with the exception of a lot of bomb craters and stone memorials scattered through the fields.

A little side road took us over a suspension bridge.
