Slacked off one day then paid for it another

Last Thursday was such a nice day that I decided to head for the hills and ride a reasonable mountain pass, then just as I arrived at the foot of the hills I bumped into the local club bunch, who had an impromptu scheduled ride during the current school holidays. I had a decision to […]

3fidi goes boating

Today we were cruising around Hoi An and stopped outside a bamboo house. Ash started talking to the old lady inside the house. She invited us in to look at the house. It turns out Ash had met her son who is a local tourism tycoon so she brought out the tea and nibblies. Then […]
