Before lunch Ardan got the final fittings on the suits. One last fix on one suit later they were looking sharp & ready to be packed by the moto post officer (they drive to the tailor in Hoi An, no need to even make it to the post office). Package will now be underway for about 3 to 4 months by boat. Should arrive fine...lets hope so...fingers crossed. Anyway, just judge the looks yourselve. A casual grey & classic black. What more does a man need in his warderobe?



After that it was time to get back on the bike towards Da Nang. Already forgot how much wind there is this time of year around here. It seems to stay the same all the way to Dang Ha before we start heading west towards Laos. Also lots! colder than the part we biked before in the south. And we heard once after the Hai Van Pass (hard work tomorrow) it gets even a lot colder & more rainy. Today we also got a taste of light rain again, something we didn't get since Singapore.

On the way from Hoi An to Da Nang we passed the Marble Mountain Temple. A tall temple clinched on the edge of a rock formation rising steeply out of the ground. Quick tour of Da Nang downtown later we had spotted the cathedral (with a very busy evening mass), the main "disco" bridge (like a huge Xmas tree at dark) & the stone art decorated quay. We'll see a bit more of Da Nang when biking towards the Hai Van pass (from where you can take beautiful fictures of the scenery apparently).
