I had to find a replacement helmet to ride in, so we set out looking for that once the shops had opened.
We'd had no luck at all yesterday afternoon, so this time took Toms bike helmet to point at... And at one shop, a stern, silent elderly Vietnamese gent who ran the shop gave us a a curt nod, shot in and out of his store in seconds, and had a perfect replacement right there for me.
It didn't have a peak, so we went off to our new favorite store, "The Big C" (like a Walmart) to find something I could make a peak out of... A black plastic dustbin looked like it'd do the trick.
After that, we had a general wander, taking in some of the sights of the city, as well as picking up a mozzie net, as some of the basic places we have stayed are bite-central...
We also thought we were cycling with a fairly heavy payload, until we saw this guy...
We have mapped out our route out of Vinh, and have decided to stay here in Vietnam a bit longer... We might be taking the slightly longer route down towards Ho Chi Minh City, and not going over to Laos now... Our next stop, in about 4-5 days time, will be the coastal city of Da Nang...
I'll post more along the way.
Until then,
RWK,
OUT!
