Today we went from Danang to Hue. Original plan was to stop after the Hai Van Pass in Lang Co, but we already arrived there at 10.30am...so decided to pedal on to Hue already. The Hai Van Pass put only a small dent in our legs, as it was actually less hard than we expected. Peaking at 500m after about 6km of 6-8% uphill we got some beautiful sceneries, including a bay with a cute village on the foot of the mountain (apparently an isolated lepra colony ;-)). The further we went up, the more we were biking in the clouds. Our reward was a welcome by a cute dog & some annoying ***-sellers (who quickly spotted we didn't need anything so left us alone). Ardan is seriously thinking of having a dog when we get our place in Veltem...., we'll see :) but why not if we get all sorts of other farmlife?
Once we've crossed the top, we had to put on our raincoats. It was much colder on the other side and it started to rain a little bit too. The weather has changed a lot as we move more north. The trivial events of the day got spiced up by a snackstop 20 km from Hue at a little bakery where a guy came up to Line pointing at her jacket and pointing back at him, basically asking if he could have it. Her wolfskin jacket??? No way! Immediately clinched the jacket in 1 hand while snacking, but you can't blame the guy for trying, at least he tried by asking nicely :) The girls at the bakery counter laughed and shook their heads...They thought the guy was a bit strange too.
Arrived in Hue around 2.30pm and went looking for a hotel. Didn't do much today except taking a well deserved shower, resting and having a good dinner. We'll probably stay in Hue for the next two days and wander around.

heel mooie vergezichten en weer knap gefietst.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenZo'n lief hondje zou ik ook zien zitten in Veltem, een golden retriever of labrador, heerlijke honden en er is plaats genoeg voor.
kus, Chantal
Was Peyo eerst op de top? Krijgt hij dan de bolletjestrui?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooie beelden en met minder zon kan je eindelijk echt zien je kakbruin bent Linemie.

Van Ardan wist ik het dat hij fietsersbloed had maar jij blijft me verbazen Line. Vol bewondering voor jullie prestaties.

Wel, eigenlijk was Peyo inderdaad als eerste op de top aangezien hij in mijn tasje aan mijn stuur zit en ik voor Ardan fietste. Alle eer van de bolletjestrui dus aan Peyo :)
