This section from Phan Thiet to La Gi is the twenty-fifth instalment of my bicycle ride from Yunnan to Cambodia – if all goes according to plan. Titled “Slap the Belgian!”, it is simultaneously published on Crazyguyonabike.com, where you’ll find a map with the itinerary and many other bicycle diaries by me and others. I hope you’ll enjoy.
Bit of a late start today. Nine by the time we’re out of bed and at 10 we’re still eating lady fingers (some sort of long, pointy bean) and drinking beer at the cold beer place across the road.
By the time we’ve said goodbye to Jean-Paul, a Dutch military man with a few months off and a cheap city bike of questionable quality, it’s almost 11. No problem, I think. We’ve planned eighty-something kilometres but my degenerating brain thought there were only 70.
