Day 1078 3rd July 2019
35 miles (Phong Nha to liem hoa ) 24000 miles passed today.
Computer not working so no average speed statistics
Monsoon season has arrived, 36 hrs of constant rain so far.
I got up at 9 for a good breakfast of omelette with baguette and tomato and two coffees.
The rain was not tempting me to get a move on so I ended up leaving at 10.30. The lovely girl on reception gave me a poncho to wear but I refuse to look like a cock in a condom and prefer to get wet. Once you’re wet you’re wet and wearing a yellow condom doesn’t help as you just sweat instead.
So I set off and was soaked through within 10 minutes.
I don’t know why but having reset my computer last night, although the bike was under cover it chose not to work.
At first it was an enjoyable ride despite the rain and I even felt cold at times which was a welcome change.
