Arriving in Thanh My at 3pm just in time to check in the Nam Giang Guesthouse before the heavy rain started to pour. Today's ride might be short (54km),but definitely not short on some steep climbs,luckily the weather was kind throughout the ride, and in the afternoon when the dark clouds started to gather,the thought of camping is out of my mind,so the plan is to stay in a guesthouse in Thanh My.Not many choices on guesthouses,enquire one hotel looks quite new but a bit pricey 200k,finally settled on Nam Giang for a cheap room 120k.
