Hi all a few days have passed since last update computers getting less available, shopped til we dropped in Hoi An, had fun at Taylors and went on a fishing boat so a paced time there, on from there we had a look at a local farm and a feast for lunch before setting off from there. While in Hoi An we visited the Lifestart projects and saw some some poor living and their school as well as womens workshop all very humbling and made us all the more happy and pleased about our efforts for Lifestart. We will update a more detailed visit as a seperate post.
It is now 4.30am and thats pretty hard wake up call after a 9okm ride in heat and dust yesterday. However we did stop at the Mei Lei memorial a village that was dessimated during the war and this was another visit that again made us so aware of wars in general and the things people endure, very sad.
We finished our day with beers by a huge river with a sandy bank and then quick to bed as 5 of us are ririding 110km through, up and over mountains to the Central Highlands today. We will meet the others aty th lst 60km and more hills await.Another huge day and challenge ahead.Bek is just getting over her second bout of tummy bug but is giving the hills ( 22km of climbing) a go.
Thanks again for all the comments so take care and look forward to hearing from you all
Team Elwood
