You make a plan, you change the plan, you ride another long day ;-)So we wanted to make a short ride into Cam Ranh & sit by the beach, enjoy valentine's day ;-)...Well, we seemed to have missed Cam Ranh seriously...we found a port, a shipbuilding dock...& that's it...where did the town went to? Where are the beaches? The hotels...? So it is off to Nha Trang in 1 jump. A solid 100+km ride instead of 50...owch.

Headwind is pounding solid again for most of the day dumping our average cruising speed to 12km/h for long streches...this was becoming a long & difficult day. Chose the new Cam Rahn, Nha Trang airport rd instead of Hw1 which has almost no traffic, new tarmac & nice views into bays on the way to Nha Trang. Some 6% climbs, but none are too long. The beating wind is the hardest part...we are hoping for the best when get more up north! Cross your fingers...

So at around 5pm we rolled into Nha Trang feeling weary & soar. Too much hotels & guesthouses made us loose another 30min before settling on 1. Too much offer isn't always the best ;-) Anyway, we think we have a decent place for the night..Lets evaluate tomorrow morning if we can get the nights sleep we deserve.
