Christmas eve morning, six of us rented some bicycles and followed Bon into the countryside. Thankfully, they had some appropriatle hobbit-sized bikes for me! And it really is true what they say about it coming back!
Cycling through traffic was a bit hairy for me with the cars and motorbike flying around you. And that was just in hoi an, I can't imagine what it would be like in saigon!
We went out to the rice fields, cycled through a little village, stopped at some fish farms and then took a nice rest on the beach. I had forgotten how much fun it is to be on a bike......though maybe not in traffic!
That afternoon Lisa and I finished getting our clothes tailored and had a lovely lunch relaxing on day beds by the river.
Just before sunset, we hired some motorbikes to drive us further out into the countryside. As the motorbike took off, I thought, I'm riding on a donorcycle in a developing country where road rules are non-existent with a helmet that's not much more than a hard baseball hat.....perhaps not my best idea! But in the end, it was lovely and I loved being on the back of a motorbike! We saw waster buffalo plowing the fields and playing in the water, made Lisa stand on some questionable bridges, and wandered through a small fishing village.
