We got back on the road, and I felt completely refreshed. The wine at night and the Jet A1 strength coffee in the morning definitely rebooted me. This was the first day I woke up feeling completely happy and energized to explore and ride. We rode more mountain roads and then descended down a bit to ride along the Ma river and then to stop for lunch along the road. I notice alot of the food we have has a slight gamey grisle to it and you’ll realize why. Behind many of the cafes are pens where they keep pigs, chickens, etc.. The food was excellent and was truly fresh. This food is more local than california local.. it comes from the back of the place! The rest of the day was pretty much just natural scenery, sightseeing, and smoke/picture stops. Early into the evening, we finally we roll up into the parking lot of a hotel. Meh, the hotel wasn’t anything special. Seemed slightly run down, but livable and has hot water. This was truly in the middle of nowhere. We spent some time in the evening playing pool at a local bar and had Bia Saigon. (Beer Saigon) At this point Al was getting good at ordering beers in Vietnamese.
