10/9 Quang Ngai to Sa Huynh 62 km
Today was a easy day compared to yesterday,only 62 km..first we got back on the Highway 1 and head south all the way to Sa Huynh..our first stop was a beef noodle shop on highway 1 as these kind of noodle shops are plentiful..very cheap breakfast tasty and filling, traffic was good today not so much...as we can cycle on the road instead of the cycle lane which is always fill up with the farmers on the HW1 drying everything from rice and seafood on the bicycle path,, Lou went ahead of me and when I caught with him he was surrounded by children and adults all admiring the bike..then an old man came and invited us into his house..we were actually parked right on his door step..he served us ice water.and we had a interesting conversation with the help of my lonely planet Vietnamese phrase book...after we stop at a restaurant had a good sea food lunch..coz Sa Huynh is near the sea so lots of fresh seafood..after lunch we were looking for the Sa Huynh hotel ..but we found a nice one called.."The Vinh" we had rooms on the ground floor we can also park our bikes in the room they had a big water hose outside so we wash our dirty bike which was full of sand...then I rode into town to find a inter net shop but along the way I found a bike repair shop so I try to ask him to clean my bike chain as it was so dirty but communication broke down he oiled it instead anyway after some difficulty I manage to make him understand so he cleaned my bike chain with petrol and air dry it with a air compressor gun..all in 10,000 less than 1$..well I have to end here now coz its getting dark outside and I have to ride back to the hotel....
