Stops along the way...

Loading up the Bikes

Loading up the bikes for the 2.5 days ride....and applying the sun screen.
A little nervous about these little men and little bikes!!

My backpack all bagged and strapped on....ready to go.

Safety First....the guides treated us like queens.

Julia and her crush...ready to hit the trails!!!

Dalat - preparing for the motorbike trip

Our drives picked us up from the bus when we arrived into Dalat, took us to our hotel and then we chatted about the plan for the trip.
We then had the rest of the day to tour around Dalat....thought that we would try out the bike for 2....once we fixed the bike we were good to go for a rental of a $1.00 a day.

Julia in the market

Traffic city at the city center.

Happy little bikers!!!

Sights on the ride to Dalat

Locals...always have a smile on their faces even though they may have miles of biking and walking everyday.
Countryside on our way to Dalat

Dozing off for a few hours....it made the slow and rough bus ride better.

Nha Trang

Sheena, Cara and I spent an afternoon at the Mud Bath Spa.
Not sure why Julia wanted to miss this excitement.

After a power shower you hit the clean hot tubs.

The girls best friend in the morning.

On the bus to Delat - where we start our adventure on the motorbikes for 2.5 days.

First Overnight train to Nha Trang

Our first overnight train to Nha Trang...we arrived 3 minutes before the train was to leave...trying to figure out how we are doing to get 6 people in this little smelly dirty cabin.
If you did not know your cabin roommate before you go on the train, you would know him or her when you got off....thank goodness we did not get the additional 2 roommates.

Working off some steam....push up from the beds....Sheena and I were bored.

Very entertaining workout...

Our little jet legged Julia....she got on the train and slept....yes, missed most of the entertainment. Julia arrived into Vietnam on Saturday night and we had not stopped going since she got there...we ahd already been there for a week so we were good to go....I am sure she was ready to ditch us.

Cu Chi Tunnels

Tunnels were dug that stretched from Ho Chi Minh City to the Cambodiam border, 200 klms of tunnels for tiny people.
Hidden traps

Julia enjoying a rubber corn cob......YUM!!!

Entering the tunnels....there were exits every 30 metres but it felt longer than that when I was in there.

Very hot and claustrophobic. The tunnels have been widened for tourist as the locals are alot small and short than us.
