Traveled from the posh resort xxx where they had no cold beer and only 3-in-1 instant coffee. Wonderful location on a beach on an isthmus! Great bed and plenty of space for the bike indoors.

New laptop purchased damaged one in for repair. Rest day after yesterday’s (for me) marathon especially hard with the sun and the headwind.

Went to Mr Phu’s delightful Nha Nghi Guest House some 30km NE of Ha Tinh. Great food each evening and some ‘wine’ with Mr P. There was some discussion via google translate over the differences between wine and home-made whisky (they call it wine).
