Bicycle ride through Hoi An

After rushing from our cooking class we went on  a great bike ride in Hoi An!


I thought that my worst bike ride ever was in Zambia going thru bumpy roads but this ride wins the medal!

We rode through rice paddies and on very bumpy one small lane muddy or sandy paths! Many of the girls had a hard time on the bike and we had 2 minor accidents and one big one! 

The scenery was beautiful! Going through the rice paddies was kind of magical even though it's the wet season and there isn't any rice actually growing. 


Our first stop was at an organic farm where we were able to all water the plants Vietnamese style!!!

Our second stop was at a place where we could ride water buffaloes! I decided to skip it since I had zero interest on getting on top of a very dirty animal and get inside a pool of extra dirty water and get my pants wet!
Sophia and Laurie (aka Loli) decided to go first! While riding the buffalo, Laurie's decided to take a huge dump right there and then on the water where they were dipping their feet... Gross!


We continued our journey and we stopped at the beach! It was windy and cold but Lukas and Kai wanted to go swimming! The ocean had massive waves and looked extremely strong. I do not know much about oceans other than they can suck you up and kill you so to me it seemed like a bad idea to go swimming and the whole time they were in the water I was super nervous that our group would lose two members (in El Salvador, it is really dangerous!)

On our way back to the hotel we got into a boat that took us back to downtown Hoi An.
