Travel Update

Jemale, Turek, and I have made it to Hue, an imperial city in central Vietnam, after 8 days of riding through the North. Although I originally had planned to cycle all the way to Saigon, I have had to revise my plans for two reasons:
1) We've only been averaging about 55 miles per day because we have stopped to see and do several things.
2) I thought Saigon was only 600 miles from Hanoi; it turns out it is over 1000 miles, impossible to do in 10 days.
I have another 5 days in Vietnam, and then its off to Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
