day 51... peddling south to Mui Ne

gearing up for 80 kilometers of pain

though not without second thoughts

alas we suck it up and hit the road

with periodic (many) breaks of course

including lunch at the village store / gas station

snacks included

sigh... 58 more to go

day 50... canyoneers

suited up and ready to die

but first some practice... baby steps

next one big (18m) step straight down

and several bruises to the bottom

time to take the plunge

both head and tails first

feet worked pretty good too

sadly the rope was 3 m too short

finally we clean our selves off in the washing machine

day 49... up in the clouds of dalat

on the bus with a stray piece of luggage

taken during the 5 mins he was actually awake

later we arrive a mile high and 15C cooler

dalat is a breath of fresh air

where hoodies trump sunscreen

and the fruit rises like mountains

simply delicious
