Dining in style.




Before we get a load of emails, comments and complaints that we are not suffering enough, we never claimed to be only roughing it! We are capable of doing so, have done so... And probably will still do so... But when there's a chance for a good meal and nice accommodation, well, yeah, we're damn well gonna take it!

Survival isn't just about filtering dodgy water to make drinkable water, making fire from rubbing 2 sticks, or from catching and killing game for food... Although we can and have done so... It's much more about adapting to your surroundings and using what you have at hand to your advantage...

That now all being said, yeah, the Roadwarriors are livin' it up in a fancy spa resort, and dinner last night was so damn good, we had to take pictures!



I had the FANTASTIC Australian steak, (bloody) and Tom had a huge chunk of grilled snapper... I even had a beer, and slept like a log for a solid, much needed 9 hours.

We'd done some decent KMs the previous few days, and yesterday's ride was long and hot. We had the puncture to deal with, which was a half-hour inconvenience, but the all-day-long persistent 15-20kph headwind that we were always riding into really sapped us... So a big feed and nice bed were very welcome. The complimentary Kimono was quite fetching too, I thought... :o)




Tomorrow we check out and carry on south to Da Nang. We hope to be getting in by mid afternoon in 3 days time, depending on the riding conditions...

More to come from the road.

Cheers!
