Easy Rider - Day 5

Our last day on the motorbikes :) ...it's been tons of fun.

We finished driving through the Central Highlands jungle, and out to the coast. The scenery was beautiful, although there were several 'slips' to look out for on the road! We stopped at another minority home...most of the people were out hunting or gathering food while the older generation were at home sewing and cooking. The whole family live in this small but really cosy little hut!





We had a short stop at a rice paper factory, and a Cham Tower - King's residence during former times of Chinese influnce. The school kids in the town were keen to practise "hello-hello, whats-your-name?, where-you-from?" :)


The highlight of the day (and possibly the trip) has to be our entrance into Hoi An. The city is prone to flooding during heavy rain, and the main road into Hoi An was totally submerged.
To our amusement, there were a few rickety old boats waiting at the start of the flooded section, to carry passengers and their vehicles to the other side. They motioned for us to get off, and the boat people heaved both bikes, with bags still attached, onto two boats! We climbed in, and the lady started rowing down the road in the wake of a large truck...it was hilarious!!
