After our relaxing rest day in 'Kon Tum' we were ready again to face the next 3 days before our last rest day in 'Boun Ma Thout'.
The rest day comprised of what most rest days do; gorging out on bread, scavenging out somewhere that sells western food and generally being lazy guilt-free people. In the evening a stroke of luck hit us as we were chilling in our hotel's reception, another white man on a bike appeared and checked into our hotel! We were all quite taken aback by this sight. He turned out he was an Irish guy called Brian, and he too was cycling from Hanoi to HCMC and was friends with the same people as us in HCMC! It was quite reassuring for us to learn that he was also finding the cycle ride tough going. He joined us for dinner and after 2 steaks each, we parted ways, hopefully to meet again at the finish - Ho Chi Minh City.
The short 48 km ride the following day was uneventful and we arrived in 'Pleiku' fairly early giving us time to relax before the next 2 days of tough work.
