A barber shop in the small streets of Nha trang

Just outside the tourist area of Nha Trang

Get that body tanned miss Cobley!
A typical barber on the side of the road, this is an early sat morning hair cut!

Nha Trang beach. Blue sea and clad with palm and coconut trees.

Today we splashed out all of $2 for the luxury of laying on one of these,soaking in the sun and atmosphere and well...doing nothing! Luxury!!!

These machines are everywhere, they push through sugar cane to get the juice out and serve with lime, yummy and good for power on the bike.

we passed beautiful beaches along the way

Our typical tea break, a pot of loose fresh green tea and strong Vietnamese coffee.


flooded rice fields

Cycling along the coast

The view from our cheep government lodgings for a few days, the beach was deserted.

Fermenting coconut along the road side, this smells like rotting cheese and its everywhere!

My rain attire!

UH Oh! think I lost Nils!

Hoi An ancient village and port.

From Hoi An onwards it rained and rained thankfully we didn't get hit by the typhoon in the north, but plenty of rice fields and villages were flooded, and an excuse to buy some fetching rain clothes!

Get that motor running!

Tailor made shoes for $12, no confusion to whos shoes they may be!!

Hoi An, and a cheeky looking Nils!?

Street vendors catch of the day

Small street in Hoi An, drying palm leaves for wrapping food in.
