I can't believe the cycling part is over already. We started the day on the bus, heading into the hills. Then we rode through beautiful coffee and rubber plantations until we hit the roadworks!!! Today was advertised as an 80km day. However, given the 'dangers' created by the roadworks, the travel company hasn't ridden the 80km for five years!!! Time to update the brochure.
The roadworks were a terrible way to end what has been, overall (!), a beautiful component of the trip. We rode for 30 km in amongst horrendous traffic. An image I will never forget is riding up a hill between two merging steamrollers!
Overnight in Bien Ma Tout - coffee country. To Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, tomorrow before heading into the Mekong Delta.
Sounds like you'd better dose up in the coffee zone while you are there!! You are a brave woman Jussy.....there's no way I'd be game to take this on! Maybe you'll be a regular cyclist on Moggil Rd in the school traffic now?
