Day 4 – Tree house!

Denise: We are here! In a tree house, we’re sleeping in a tree house tonight! We have travelled from Hanoi to Pu Luong, it took us about 6 and a half ours to get here. MY ASS, MAN!! FFS! But then this is what the destination is, absolutely worth it.

Jonathan: The main roads were in great condition. And we were crusing at around 70km/hr for majority of the way. I think both of us had ants in our pants as our arses were burning. Hopefully we will be more saddle fit as the trip goes on.

Denise: The trip its self was beautiful, the scenery was great and we saw some mountains being mined so they were half-tains. Here are some pictures from the ride.

Denise: Our host Duy (pronounced Zwee) was very welcoming and spoke very good English. In the below picture, Duy is comforting his dog ‘Moon’ and telling us how she was attacked by another dog. Please note the Vietnamese Squat, it’s not easy to do. I have accomplished this potential yoga pose.

Jonathan: I end up on my bum if I try squat like that.

Jonathan: So we have a small washing problem. Our clothes aren’t drying properly. They are still slightly damp after leaving the hotel and are miff by the time we reach our next destination. Hmmmmmmmm… Commando tomorrow.

Denise: Hahaha! We managed to get a few nice spots on the tree house, but it’s raining now. No, it’s storming. Bitter sweet. If I could describe how we’re feeling lying here in the tree house, hearing the thunder, smelling the rain and listening to the drops. It’s like the ultimate relaxation bubble.

Denise: I want to take this moment to truly thank my husband for sponsoring this holiday. I cannot imagine doing this with anyone else and feeling this happy and in love. You blow my mind with your patience, positive attitude and ability to look more handsome every day!
