Route with pics

A good night rest after two hard days of biking. We went to the beach in the morning and took a dive. The current was very hard, so we both got sucked into the waves and spit out again a couple of times. Not exactly a relaxing swim, but still a funny swim :)
After that we visited a Pagoda & a Cathedral and went hunting for a busticket to Hoi An. A lot of busoperators, but they all want you to buy and extra ticket for your bike. Here the argument that it's not fair because you don't have to pay extra for big luggage either, doesn't work. We even asked if we could place our bikes on the chair next to us since we're paying for and extra person. Nope, doesn't work. So we went from one to another busoperator. We decided to just buy a ticket without mentioning that we had bicycles with us and we would discuss the extra price with the busdriver himself. But I didn't want to give in, so I went to yet another one and he said that we just had to give the busdriver something. How much? He couldn't say, but "maybe something like 50kDong". Well that's better then an extra ticket of 10USD! This is the cheapest option, so let's work on our negotiating skills for tomorrow evening :)
We also gave our bikes a good wash today. Four people for washing one bike: they looked brand new, so shiny they were! Tomorrow another day in Nha Trang and at 6.30pm we'll get on the nightbus to Hoi An.
