8 Sept Danang

well we are starting our first day of our cycling trip, we left the hotel at 6;45 am and we started to cycle out of the city of Danang along the Han river towards the Bridge .After crossing the bridge, it was just following the road all the way to Hoi An,,we stop at The famous "CHINA BEACH" where U.S. soldiers used to come here for R & R during the vietnam war..we stop aoncet 20 km to have a drink at a a little grocery store and there was a market next to it ..I saw some sugar cane juice so I bought some.First Problem with equiptment, my cycle computer broke at km 15..the wire was rubbing against the spokes and it cut the wire..2nd problem..my bicycle kick stand is not strong enough to support my bike uprighr because of the weight of the 2 bags.....after 3 andf half hours we reach Hoi An..we stop at a a cafe next to the river ,,,we were here 2 years ago..and then we cycle in to Hoi An city ..we saw a nice Hotel along Tran Hung Dao street so we went to enquire it was 12$ U.S a room so we took it...in the lobby of the hotel they have a small swimming pool..but our room in on the top floor(4 th floor) no lift so have to carry all the bags up ..1 good thing about this hotel they have a space under stairs to keep our bikes ...so we will stay 1 night and contuinue to Quang Ngai tomorrow...
