Route with pics
Picasa Album
Today we rented a motocycle to go to the yellow/red and white dunes. Feels a bit like walking in the dessert. Beautiful! There are guys selling you a "sledge" for 1USD to slide down the dunes. The sledge is just a piece of plastic and it doesn't slide at all. Yeah well, a dollar gone to a good cause we hope :)
We will bike a part of this route again tomorrow to Phang Ri. It isn't going to be an easy ride: several hills, but most of all a strong head wind.
Coming back we had lunch in a little road side diner. There was a Vietnamese guy asking us where we came from because we were asking the lady of the diner how much it costs and we were saying the numbers in Vietnamese. The guy thought we were living in Vietnam. When we said to him that "we're from Belgium and we are travelling for six months by bike", he started talking in Dutch!! Why does a Vietnamese guy speak Dutch? Well, just because he likes the sound of
the Dutch language :) He could speak English and Italian too. Amazing! And then he gave us, what was for us, a big compliment: we didn't look like tourists. Yesss!
After that we returned our motocycle, two houres earlier than we said we would, so the lady just gave us 1 dollar back and a bottle of water we wanted to buy, we got for free! Nice lady! :) A dive in the pool, a banana and pineapple pancake for snack, some HBO watching on television and a little dinner ended our day. An early start again tomorrow so we can beat the hottest part of the day.
