After another hearty breakfast we set off on the ride to Hoi An.  The ride started with a 500m climb over about 10km.  It was a pleasant change from all the flat riding we’d been doing, but challenging nonetheless.  It was a hot day and many of us were steaming our clothes as we cranked up the mountain.  Our effort on the climb was rewarded by gorgeous views of the bay. We had a rest break at the summit, with locals selling us much needed refreshments.  There were some interesting old ruins at the top, but it became somewhat chilly so we were glad to get going on the descent. 

We rode down the mountain and then proceeded just past the town of Danang for lunch. The food was yet again plentiful, with lots of seafood and some delicious soup.  After the profuse sweating from the hot ride, we were all craving for salt.  Most of us were liberal with our use of salt, but Corbin downs a bowl of Soya Sauce instead (apparently that’s normal behaviour for him).  Nick replaces of Sid as the rider with the biggest appetite as he empties yet more food into his growing body!    

Our well-fed unicyclists rode the final few km’s into Hoi An tired but satisfied with another days successful riding.  After a nice shower we proceeded into town for yet more food, followed by some very rich dessert at a bakery.  Just as well we burned so many calories today!
