May 11th. 71 miles and the Hai van pass climb.

Left Hoi An at last after almost three weeks there.
Very hard to leave as I had a great apartment. Georgia had stayed and we had made some good friends.

I forgot to mention my friend Tan who makes bike frames out of bamboo. They work well too. Actually he makes everything out of bamboo.

I plan to return beginning of August to help a friend out house sitting and lead a 3 day corporate charity cycle ride in aid of the Vietnam New Borns.

I cycled past Hyatt resort where the triathlon had started and finished and on to Da Nang. Past the hotel Georgia and I had stayed at before she flew home and on towards the Hai Van Pass climb north of Da Nang. Hoi An was now far behind me. The Hai Van Pass was a good climb with beautiful views.

I stayed just outside the city of Hue, slightly more inland now after a long day.

Back to washing my close in the sink and squashing bugs before bed.
