Left Mui Ne behind early this morning to bike to Phang Ri. We already arrived at there at 10.30 am. There is really nothing of interest in Phan Ri, so we decided to continue to Phan Rang. Still a long way to go, but better to bike a couple more hours than being bored in Phan Ri :) It was a hard ride: a lot, and we mean a lot of headwind and insane busdrivers who think that it's okay to pass another bus, no matter what comes from the other direction, as long as they honk a lot and turn on their indicator lights. Even if that means that they almost drive every biker or motocycle on the side of the road over!! Assholes!
We finally arrived in Phan Ri at 4.30 pm and after 133km of biking. Longest day so far. Very proud actually :)
We found a cozy hotel for 160kDong. Now we know why it's cheaper than the first one: there's a club on the other side of the road and we can hear the bass very loud! Let's hope they have to turn the volume down before we go to bed. Phan Rang doesn't look like a partytown, so fingers crossed! If not, maybe we're just to tired from the day and we'll fall asleep no matter what.
Still deciding what we will do tomorrow: stay here for a day and rest (although nothing much to do here), bike to a town in between Phan Rang and Nha Thrang, or go all the way to Nha Trang (another 105 km). We'll see what the morning brings.
