Day 5 - Hot Hot Hot - Suntan Time!!


Today we cycled from Quang Ngai to Quy Nhon - Stopping halfway for a swim in the Sea!

Our first stop about 20 km in, after a few short hill climbs ended in a small village, very poverty strichen like the others - but it ứa really funny, ALL the locals were lined in the centre just looking at us and laughing & smiling, they are so happy to see us! One woman had all these ducks on the handlebars of her bike - little did i realise they were still alive, hanging upside down!! She found this hilarious that i was so surprised! (picture to follow)

Lunchtime was spent in the sea - was very powerful, and after Huw teaching me how to "body surf" i managed to get taken from about 40m out into the beach, as i smacked straight into him! 2nd one didnt go so well, as I didnt get on top of the wave and got bent under the wave - My shoulder is now agony lol - that will teach me!

More cycling through villages, at every stop all the locals gathering to look at us - one group of woman (through the translators) said i was very handsome and asked if i was married! haha, my shyness had them all laughing!! Got a tan today, sunshine veryhot!

70km tommorrow!

Glad to see that you are heading down the marriage route at last. I suppose a mail order bride is about right for you.

As for you and Huw "body surfing".... I've heard it called many things, but that's a first...
