A quick briefing an we set off at the start of it all....
Words fail me in explaining when a fantastic experiences have had today - we achieved 79.82km when light stopped play at 6pm, so there's a great sense of achievement amongst the team as we sit in a fluorescent lit dining room at the Hoa Binh Hotel, Tay Ninh.
Let me just say there is nothing better as you cycle through the villages and the little children come running out and shout 'Hello', with the biggest grins on their faces.
Photos updated, but a few potted highlights
Number of bikes I got thorough today: 2 - one sheared saddle bolt, one broken chain
Number of stops - 3, including the incredible and thought provoking Cu Chi tunnels
Length of dinner for the party in the hotel restaurant - 45 minutes
Colin loosing his pedal and Crispin finding the bolt on the road
Roadside cafes with their hammocks
The little boy putting a huge lab of ice in the cool box
lunch at the floating restaurant
More details in a later blog to follow when I'm less tired (is this a theme developing)
We cross to Cambodia tomorrow with 40 km to get out of the way in the morning
