The ride to Tuy Hoa had a little bit of everything. The ocean, the mountains, some hills, some wind, some more wind, rain, sunshine... a little bit of everything. The ride for the most part was pretty flat, except for a small portion of it where I had to climb over a couple of mountains. They were only the outer most part of the highlands though, so compared to the journey to Delat it was nothing. In the morning it rained a little. It was nice. You have to bare in mind that when it rains here it's not like at home. The weather remains warm, and it makes for a nice break from the heat. You do, however, end up wet and muddy. However when I'm cycling I'm not a picture of cleanliness anyway. The wind was terrible. You guys know how I feel about the wind.
Tuy Hoa is actually a fair size city. There is a lot of hotels there, and they're all on the same street. It was nice because it was easy to play them against eachother and get a good price. I was pretty tired by the time I arrived, so I didn't really do much. Just ate my noodles and went to bed.
It's a long haul to Hoi An. Including today I figure it's going to take me three or four days to get there. The next few destinations after that though are pretty close together. I'm still debating whether or not I should attempt to go back into the highlands. It would be a nicer route to Hoi An, but I don't know if Fred and I can make it. My heart says yes, but my head says no. I have to decide before I leave Quy Nhon, which is in one more day, as that's my last chance to turn off into the mountains. I'll keep you posted.
