Travel All Over the Country Side

Hello,

Here's another post from The Baron, in which she once again talks about sleeping and a little bit about riding bikes. She supplied me with the subject heading, "Travel all over the country side", which I presume is a reference to the old Layland Brother's theme song. If you can remember how it goes, try singing "Travel all over the country side. Ask the Baron! Ask the Baron!" whilst reading the below post.
yours,
Ianto Ware



so more riding. long days of riding for four hours through rice paddies, which turned into coffee and rubber tree plantations, corn fields, and all sorts ofother amazing things. two days ago we had a 90km day, of which i did 70km. one of our riders got run off the road by a truck andended up coming off her bike in the dirt - shaken up but not injured. a similar incident then occured again when our own support bus tried to get laura to stop and not ride past our lunch stop. she stopped,but ended up with a lot of dirt and some gravel rash. she has a bit of a bruise and a graze on her shoulder which she intends to pick at so it scars, so she can claim its the scar she got in nam.

anyway, another day of cycling yesterday, starting out with some reasonably gentle hills and some not so gentle headwind, which equals not a lot of fun. eventually the wind died down and the roads flattened out and we made it in to nha trang, a beachside town. today we're heading out on a boat to swim etc (i'm still waiting to see if the weather improves!) a day without cycling will be a good rest for all of us who are feeling a bit weary. will leave it to laura to tell more details about her crash and also about last night. suffice to say the trend of me sleeping / laura partying across SE asia continues. sorry for the lack of intersting stuff to tell, but am at a point where all the days are blurring together. looking forward to a day of something different today.
