2/18 Hai Van pass…..Hoi An

Today we make another big climb up the famous (really, I’m not kidding) Hai Van Pass. Six miles up and six miles down.

Ready for the climb

Although we’ve done bigger climbs, we all knew this would be our last big day and yes it rained again today.

After the climb we continued onto backroads to the Elephant Valley to finish the day (35 miles 2800 ft of elevation)

We shuttled to Hoi An which is a small walkable city but unfortunately very touristy.

Our fight to Hong Kong was cancelled by Vietnam Airlines. They only fly every other day now to Hong Kong so we need to leave a day early now (ugh).

As we were checking in to our rooms at the Vinh Hung Emerald resort, our Aussie friends shouted out to the guy showing us our rooms “Hey there is a rat in our room”, Elena (CA) said her room had mosquitos in her bathroom ….I’ll be sleeping with one eye open tonight.

Tomorrow will be a rest day in Hoi An.
