I slept until 09.00 but when I woke it was raining so I didn't hurry to get out of bed and waited an hour till it stopped. I had a banana to keep me going, hired a motorbike and was off. I headed north and took the coastal road, as soon as I was out of Duong Dong (the main town on the island) it was dirt tracks. The coastal road was practically uninhabited and the best road I have ever been on, truly spectacular riding. I kept along this road for 60km, stopping twice for lunch and a drink, both for considerable lengths of time as they were so good. Finally I reached asphalt again. The next 10km was flat out along a recently built dual carriageway which had about 10 vehicles on its whole length. I wasted an hour or so in my room before grabbing some street food dinner again. Clearly the place I went this evening was a more upmarket place than last night, the table next to me all had glasses of wine, personally I didn't think it quite fitted with the cheap utensils and plastic chairs.
