Cycling The Road Less Travelled

The forecast for the area around and to the South of Hoi An had been and continues to be very, very bleak. We waited a few days in Hue for it to clear up but eventually decided we wanted to move on. Luckily, it didn’t rain much as we cycled over the Hai Van pass (one of the highlights on the route) but it was still very cloudy and dark. To bad, through the broken clouds we could tell that the views of the sea would have been spectacular. Oh well, we can’t complain too much. We still had a very nice day.

We are now in beautiful, beautiful Hoi An, another Unesco World Heritage site. In 2006 we spent three weeks in Vietnam, Hoi An was definitely one of the highlights. It’s changed a little; new construction, more tourists and higher prices. No matter, it’s still a really, really nice spot to spend a few days.
