Day 6 - Resting in Hoi An
0 km today as we rested in Hoi An and were preparing for our trip today which will be approximately 125km. So yesterday we took in some sights early in the morning before heading to a local place for foot reflexology. The ambience of the massage place was not that great but for US$6 an hour for a good food / leg rub who can really complain? After the foot rub we went back to our hotel for an early pre-massage lunch. The Victoria Hotel in Hoi An is very nice. http://www.victoriahotels-asia.com/eng/hotels-in-vietnam/hoi-an-beach-resort-spa We have a seafront villa and the pool and common areas here are all very nice.
After a hearty lunch and a variety of massages, we took the opportunity to integrate with the local people in Hoi An. Of course we did this indoors as I am suffering from an extreme sunburn....whoever thought farmers had the strangest sun tans must not have met many cyclists
.
After a lazy day we went to a nice restaurant for dinner before catching a few games of pool at the elephant bar in the hotel. We decided to have an early night as the main group is leaving at 8am this morning and some are leaving a bit early to get some bonus kilometers in today. Tonight we will end up in Qui Nhon City. The total distance is 270km but we need to take the bus part of the way as we could not ride that much in a single day....well maybe but I don't think so. Back into the traffic we go!
Enjoying the beach....a bit chilly though.
