On the bikes by 8:45, another great day. Rode for an hour, then realised we missed our turn. We wanted to take the brand new road, we turned off more out of hope then expectation and it wasn’t brand new, it was still being built. It was 6km of stop and start, good road and no road, then we found out it was the correct road and the road got bloody good. Riding through trees and past lakes, doing a mountain pass it offered one of the best and farthest views ever, I don’t think I‘ve seen further. We stopped for lunch, pointed to what two blokes were eating and smiled, then one of the blokes started talking to us. He was smashed, there was the remains of a crate of tiger around the floor, and he spoke minimal English, had the usual conversation, name, where you from, what you do etc. He kept pestering us to a point of annoyance, though when it came to paying we got the money for the girl but he already paid her, outright refusing our protests, what a nice drunk bloke. Carrying on down Martha started whining about something, and started cutting out. Pushed it up hill to a mechanic who fiddled with it for 40mins, and she started again but is still whining. It was bloody boiling and I could feel my nose burning, despite my factor 50. Had a look at a couple of hotels, what used to be backpacker havens have all turned into resorts, so we end up at the first one. Straight to the shower and then the pool, for a bit of pool badminton, as good as it sounds. We take a walk for dinner, going down the strip of Mui Ne. not really a big fan, it’s supposed to be less of a resort town then Nha Trang, but it is full of neon signs, Russians and touts. Walk for ages down the street, end up at an Indian and have a very tasty meal, before walking the miles back and chilling out.
