Is dysentery guaranteed if you eat a salad.

I spied an Indian restaurant on Google but on the way there I nearly passes a Chinese restaurant but popped in. Had a great meal. Then on the way home I was offered ganja at least 4 times, I of course politely refused.

I woke at about 6.30 and was out the door by 7.30 supping a coffee just across the street. My hotel had been great.

My route meandered out of Hue. Temples and views were splendiferous. I am now at full strength all remnants of my illness have gone.

I had to search quite hard for a coffee shop but this one was great. I think maybe half the amount of coffee would have made it nicer but I put sugar and a little condensed milk in and it suddenly became exceedingly palatable.

The road I was on went through a 200meter tunnel, then threatened to go through another, luckily there was a scenic alternative that went over the mountain. Then I turned off the main road and took a small path along the sea. This leads to the Hai Van Pass, one of the main reasons I wanted to do this section, it was suggested by a couple I met in Ninh Binh. The pass is about 500meters high and 10kms long. I know I said I was fully recovered I’m definitely not used to mountains 🥵. But the road was good the views were beautiful, I got waved at by lots of people that made me feel good.

At the bottom of the pass is Da Nang, I could have stopped that would have been my daily 100kms. But it was 1 30 and what would I do for the rest of the day. So I pedalled on to Hoi An another 40ish kms further on. Komoot did its usual agrovating taking me through every crowded, busy, market filled street. I had to stop and just check out the straighter roads, so worth the 10 mins.

At Da Nang I booked into a Homestay just east of Hoi An. I want out for a meal and had eaten the salad before I remembered I shouldn’t 🤦 here’s hoping I’m not ill again. But the noodles and broth were tasty.
