Hoi An and end of bike tour
Although our bike tour portion of the trip is over, we still have several more days in Cambodia and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). The ride lasted 5 days with a moderate pace. The ocean rides were very enjoyable as was the meandering through farmland and countryside. Hoi An marked our last day of the ride, an ancient town with interesting buildings, vendors and markets.
A ride to the beach rewarded us with a great view and swim in the South China Sea. This is where I encountered a small group of children swimming and playing on the beach. As with most children, they greeted me and were very friendly toward westerners. One noticed my camera and invited me to take their picture. I have to admit I am a little shy taking pictures of people, as I do not wish to offend or make uncomfortable.
I will share more later, with a complete journal of events and more photos. Stay tuned…
