Thursday and another full day of riding from Nha Trang to Tuy Hoa, but this time mostly flat until the afternoon when we went up more hills (including a 9km uphill stretch). We set off early in the morning for the ride to the beautiful fishing village of Dai Lanh.
We spent lunch with a swim at the beach and cycled through some villages along the way (taking plenty of photos by the way and we're all going to share). Today though, by the time we'd done the early cycling (about 60km all up, and down), Tony and I decided to get on the bus - we've had a few bus conductors but it's all in good spirit.
Hugh was the star of the show today, staying on the road the whole way to the hotel, another 55 km, with the seasoned bike riders in the group. We all had taken a wrong turn at the top of the uphill stretch (well we actually didn't take a turn at all) and had finished up at the bottom of the hill on the other side before the bus caught up with us. Hugh hung in with the others, even when the distance seemed interminable. We arrived at Tuy Hoa well after dark and had dinner at the beach, staying in the local Trade Union Hotel.
