More biking, but this time not the motor bike kind.

Wow, I can't believe I drove a motor bike yesterday with Jill hanging on the back. In reality, I was a bit nervous because there was more than just giving it gas. There was actually 4 gears I had to shift through with my left foot, my R foot was a weak rear wheel brake, and the R lever was a weak front brake. In the end it was worth it; a jeep tour would have been $25!






Today we walked to the fairy spring stream and waterfall which was basically a hike between some red canyon dunes. Very cool pics and there was a section of a free mud bath spa treatment for your legs; possibly for your whole body if you wanted. After wards we had to checkout of our hotel since our bus was later on tonight, 1:30am! The Nguyen family was still around, super loud in the pool area. Also was funny that most of the women went in the pool with normal clothes on; probably due to cultural modesty.



Jill and I rented some bikes and went along the 10km road up and down along Mui Ne. Mild workout for me, but it was better than nothing. I was so proud of Jill, she only managed to almost crash and get hit by traffic only twice, hehe! All the local boys were looking at Jill riding her bike, kinda funny. I think the wanted her number and email address! We went through some sketchy neighborhoods at times, but it was fun to see the locals do everyday stuff. On the way back we got caught in a short rain blast so we pulled over some dudes house and sat on the porch; they didn't say much so I guess that was cool.



7 more hours to kill. Massage and dinner. Jenn Lai, the massage better be legit!


(Post massage comments)  The $10 massage was NOT good at all! Weak fingers and technique was a bit off from the real Thai massage; I'll get the real deal on the last day in Bangkok. Whole lobster roasted in garlic butter sauce for dinner made up for it.
