The Itinerary

Ok - it's getting a little bit closer now, so I thought I'd put up our itinerary so you'd know where we were while we are away!

We fly out on the 16th of November and arrive in Ho Chi Minh City for the start of our trip around the Mekong Delta (17-18 November). Then on 19 November our cycling trip kicks off from Ho Chi Minh City! I've included how far I have (or 'get' depending on your point of view) to cycle each day as well.

19 November - We cycle on roads out of the city to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels (40km).
20 November - We travel out to the coast of the South China Sea in Mui Ne (60km).
21 November - We head towards the central highlands and stop overnight in Dalat (50km).
22 November - We head back to the coast at Nha Trang (80km).
23 November - Spend the day in Nha Trang swimming, snorkelling and eating!
24 November - Head back towards the central highlands to Lak Lake with canoe trip (45km).
25 November - Travel to Pleiku through coffee and rubber plantations (60km).
26 November - Leave the central highlands and ride to the coast at Quy Nhon (100km).
27 November - Travel along the coast to Hoi An, travelling past My Lai (35km).
28 November - See sights around Hoi An, including the Marble Mountain and My Son (35km).
29 November - Free day in Hoi An.
30 November - Keep going up coast to Hue, stop at Lang Co beach (60km).
1 December - Spend the day around Hue including cruise down Perfume River (20km).
