Day X - Riding to Vietnam

On the day that I will not count, we rode into the last leg of our trip from Cambodia to Vietnam passing by luscious green fields. Our ride was cut short today because our driver with the bikes had a hangover. Vietnam had won over Thailand in soccer the night before and everyone was out celebrating (drinking). 30km was replaced by yet another temple and a trip to a Cham village. The highlight of the day, second to the riding, is a game of Big 2 over Vietnamese BBQ in a completely local dive. Grilled over a clay pot, the goat was excellent with some basil leaves, pandan leaves and a slice of pineapple dipped into spicy bean paste sauce. - JuAnne
