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.


Met some friendly Vietnamese youth on motorcycles

Tightening a loose spoke which is hitting the front disc mounting generating an irritating "Tak..tak...tak " sound and also changed to a new set of disc brake pads

Resting at an abandoned house

Altitude may be low at 250m does not mean the climb is easy

After this bridge is Thanh My

Danang is where my final destination lies

Nam Giang Guesthouse room looks more like prisoner cell but cheap 120k dong

My bike looks sparkling clean after given him a hot shower
