Second day of the roadtrip was the longest, we did about 180 kilometers total. Left the hotel early at 8 am already and set out. Day was kinda cold and had to wear 2 jackets. I was expecting sunshine, warm and driving in a sleeveless t-shirt but instead there was cool air and rain, great! Later in the day it luckily got warmer and the rain stopped when getting more south.
We stopped by an old memorial for the fallen Vietnamese soldiers in the American war. It was all very detailed decorated, each tomb. They really take great care for maintaining it. And it was veeeery quiet here up on a mountain. Peaceful and a good "resting" place.
Stopped by a small Pagoda by the lake, there was an angry dog that kept barking during the whole time walking around there. Take a chill-pill dawg.
Stopped for coffee at one place, when I went to the toilet I found these guys in the backyard. Oink oink, christmas comes early this year!
