    After cycling up into the Vietnam Central Highlands, on day 3 of our bike tour we have a rest day in the hidden mountain town of Mang Den. We decided to cycle around the town and check out some of the local food and beautiful views.

    In many ways, this felt pretty much like really riding along with you and discovering this picturesque town without the usual disruptions of people and traffic, as if city life had temporarily been paused.Some gorgeous shots from the bridge and very enticing sticky rice sticks; but the roasted capons would probably have required some serious chomping !

    Amazing views and weather! Such a welcoming change from the hot and sunny climate you were cycling in. It must have been relieving with the overcast. Some of those neighborhoods had a ghost town look to them. Cycling is such a neat way to explore places like that. That bridge looked rickety, smart of you to walk your way back. Finally, did Thuong navigate by memory or a general understanding of the streets?

    • @TwoWheelCruise

      It felt great to finally have some cooler weather. I was mainly navigating with my cycle computer, but Thuong checks her phone sometimes too

    It’s hard to tell if construction is underway or it’s just a bit of a mess in places. But certainly it has a really nice charm to it. Weather looks tolerable. It would be a shame if they develop it much beyond where it is right now. But I get the feeling that in this world, people who think like me will always be ignored and they’ll always prioritise growth no matter the consequences.
    Also it’s quite amusing to continue this TWC tradition of getting caught in monsoon conditions when on one of these touring adventures XD

    Presentation of the food looks so good! Would prefer that they not cut the chicken in front of the guests. Guess I’m just a northeastern urban snob. Still the food looks delicious. Nice explanation of the rice bamboo dish.! You’re becoming quite the ethnographer! Really beautiful surroundings and accommodations. No automobile traffic to be concerned with. Yes! And the road surfaces of the main roads seem very well maintained-smooth! Love the leaving-entering the city signs! Great video-cycling is a terrific way to show Vietnam. I do love the rain even when on my bike. Good for you guys having this special time together and taking us with you.

    4:30 Stainless steel tables are usually more sanitary than wood. Face it they probably just pass a dirty damp rag over any table but wood can trap particles of food and over time be more of a sanitation hazard. My sister is a retired food scientist so I had to listen to all her lectures lol
