It’s been a while

Yes, I’ve neglected posting for a while but it’s been busy, busy, busy.

We finished the marathon cycling. I say marathon as but the time we made it to Hoi An the temperatures were starting to climb and by the last day coming into Ho Chi Minh temperatures were  in the mid 30’s and the humidity was high, high, high.

Usually, we cycled 15-20km before there was a break. Breaks consisted of lime juice, fresh fruit,and nuts. This was all supplied by the tour company. In the high temps and humidity,  it was great to get a break in the shade, but once one stops then one becomes drenched in sweat. It’s a relief to get back on the bikes and feel the breeze generated by biking but still….

Finally, after the last day of 65km, we were bused in to Ho Chi Minh city,  and after a farewell dinner, it was all over. I have to say it was an amazing group. There were 12 in all; 7 Brits, 2 Americans/Quebecois, 2 Canadians (ourselves) and 1 Austrian. We all enjoyed each others company, had no major issues, and all lead by Son a great leader.

We’ve been on our own now for a few days and have made it as far south as Can Tho in the Mekong Delta. In a few days it’s off to Siam Reap and Angkor Wat.
