We spent yesterday making our way on a motorcycle to Paradise, a beautiful spot on DocLet beach on a peninsula with something against signage. We drove around salt flats praying we wouldn't be reduced to sleeping in a salty ditch for much of the afternoon. It was worth the hassle. Our beach bungalo came wih three meals of local food a day and turquoise bath water ocean waves. I have checked off the South China Sea on my list of skinny dipped bodies of water.. And we're ready to continue inland!
Today we will ride to Buon Ma Thuot, the coffee capital of Vietnam, to sample some of the finest butter roasted beans available. There are a series of large waterfalls in the area and Vietnam's largest nature reserve a couple of hours from that. So far, a great bike trip!
Minus.. the French guy at dinner last night telling a table full of guests that capitalism has reduced us to the equivalent of Egyptian slaves putting up pyramids. I was tempted to make the argument that aliens built the pyramids, but his earlier comments about contagious neroses had me worried for my safety.
