18 Sept Nha Trang - Ba Ngoi/Cam Ran

Today we left Nhat Trang at 6 am in the morning, we had to cycle back to Highway 1 and head south to Ba Ngoi/Cam Ran, It was a nice day not much sun and most of all not raining. The road condition is good very flat except for a small climb near Cam Duc..we had Breakfast at a road side stall with many housewife congregating around us trying to talk to us in Vietnamese, all we can work out was where we were from and where we are going, we had some kind of Noodles call "BUN " looks like the Chinese rice noodles u have in "Yum Cha" after that we continue till our next stop was in Cam Duc town where we stop for fruit ice..similar to Malaysian "Ice Kachang" crushed ice with fruits in it.
while eating our fruit ice we saw a travelling salesman on a bicycle he had bits and pieces of combs ,lighters and other stuff all attached to a big board that was again attached to the his handlebar, very ingenious idea, today was not a hard day as it was only 60 km to Ba Ngoi/cam ran, the road is flat except before Cam Duc..we found the recommended hotel from the Lonely planet but it looks old and the one next to it looks much newer and it also has free Wi-Fi,, so we took it ,, rooms cost 180,000, the room are very clean air -con is cold and good bed and shower too, the best part is I can get Wi-Fi in my room cos I am on the first floor..Lou said he couldn't get it, we showered then went to lunch,,another road side stall selling rice and pork local food . after that we went to a local grocery store to buy snacks we got "durian" chips peanuts ,cakes bread and lollies.
after that we stopped at a little footpath stall the lady was selling sweet dessert soup banana and sweet potatoes in a sweet soup with coconut milk,,very nice but too sweet,than it was a afternoon nap for me till 6 pm where we went for dinner...we ask some motor bike taxi to take us to some Vietnamese restaurant but again he took us to a local rice store we had mix vegies pork chicken and soup..then across from the restaurant was a park where people go and eat fruit ice so..when you are in Rome do as the Romans do, in this case do as the Vietnamese do we sat ate fruit ice and enjoy music from Lou's Ipod,,then it was back to the hotel..sorry I can't upload any pics today in this hotel's computer but will put it in the next update...good nite,,,tomorrow on to Phang Rang 47 km short day
