Da Nang and a break from the bike

Apologies for the lack of reports. This will be the last one now until about the 5th of May. My Daughter Georgia has arrived and I have hung the bike up for 16 days ????. 

I ended up in Tam Ky a few days longer than I wanted due to another dodgy belly and a cold !  Made sneezing interesting ????????. Tam Ky is not very interesting and a 3 night saty there was way too long. I did catch a road race passing through the town one morning though. 
Small snails are a local delicacy. Think this lot were for sharing but polished them all off solo ????


Ended up riding the 40 miles to Da Nang to meet Georgia whilst ill so it was a steady one. The route was actually very nice. I think that’s about 1500 miles so far. Felt better for the ride today to be honest. 

A bridge crossing where there was no bridge!  Paid to take boat across this one !

Met Georgia the following day and have had a holiday within a holiday. My friend set us both up in Hoi An with 2 amazing apartments at his Mums. Thanks for that Luke. Velobrands   ????????☀️????????. We have been shopping, kayaking, shopping, beach, shopping, partying and now on the way to Hanoi for a boat trip and a few nights on an island. Oh and I imagine more shopping. We did volunteer for an annual rubbish collection on An Bang beach one morning. miss the bike ????. It’s actually going to be tough to get back on the bike and get going again. Got a spot of camping planned when Georgia flys home before I start riding again though. 

The kayaking was a great trip and our guide Long, who has become a good friend speaks perfect English. Highly recommended. Hoi An Kayak Tours. 


Over and out for now ????.
