9 January, Cua Tung to Quang Tri, 41km
Hoan My Hotel 250,000VND

On a day that looked like winter, but felt like autumn, we cycled a coast road through farmland, then through farmland and small towns to the city of Quang Tri. For the first time really in Vietnam, it took us some time to find accommodation, three guest houses rejecting us, two of them for unknown reasons, us rejecting others as being too depressing. We finally checked into the first hotel we had seen on entering town. They wanted 300,000VND. I was pretty chuffed with myself for negotiating them down to 250,000VND only to find, via a rate card posted in our room, that this was in fact their usual rate. We saw numerous basket boats today. Woven from bamboo and sealed with tar or resin, these circular boats are lightweight, flexible, inexpensive and attractive.
