Biking and boating in Vietnam (part 2)

IMG_1027
Fixing time! First in the row of three. Here fixing 3 holes at a time, luckily the tire went flat just few hundred meters from the repair shop. The same day also had to change the back wheel bearing. And week later had one more flat tire, again 3 holes, but then it included few kilometers of pushing the bike under the night sky.
These 3 repairs - 2 times tire and one bearing - cost together 4USD

Dirt road and small villages. Red flags to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Taking a stop after every now and then to have a Pepsi with ice. Ice most probably made from river water, but still a good drink under the burning hot sun

Khmer temple, didn't see them too many in Vietnam. Even though Cambodia - all about old Khmer buildings - is just at the other side of the border.

Lot of tourist make to Mekong Delta for the floating markets. Vietnamese people are extremely early wakers, life is going in full speed already around 6 o'clock, at 9 in the morning the market is already closing. Early morning shopping.

Vegetable boat. From the mast it can be seen what is on the sale. Today carrots, onions, cabbage, potatoes and some other unidentified veggies.

The land price in Vietnam must be rather expensive, many houses were just one window wide but getting sometimes 6-7 floors into sky.


Next post already about beaches.
