Day 4 and already spoilt with a beautiful dawn. We got away reasonably early as although a comparibly easy ride to what we have in front of us, around 300km and wanted to be in early. The fresh beer sign at our breakfast stop another great motivator .
I usually feel a bit flat on this day ride as normally I've either just come out of the enormity of the North headed South for home or the gorgeous Central Highlands headed North. Starting at Phong Nha this trip was perfect offering a couple of days which I've really enjoyed for both Huong and I to build into it. Also to get comfortable on the CB fully loaded. I haven't ridden with hard side panniers since I took my eldest son, Jack to the Moto GP in 2010. With the weight as low as possible the CB thus far feels its up to the challenge.
Some interesting stops along this route include an amazing Sunflower Farm but the wrong time of year for the blooms of that one. The HCM Road "0" Milestone and a War Memorial Island.
