Day 20 12/11/09

After being bedridden all day yesterday I needed to get myself organized today. I still wasn’t feeling 100 percent but if I stayed any longer in Hanoi I would spend too much money. I set off at midday to pimp out my new bike, the holographic stickers of flowers and purple paint just weren’t enough, a very gay basket was much in need. I went back to one of the vendors on the 2^nd hand ‘parts’ street and picked up a basket and an extension for the rack. There was a bit of difficulty attaching the basket as the bike I have is an American bike… hopefully lasting longer than my previous one.

I didn’t eat anything all day, but because I had food poisoning my stomach had shrunk… hopefully this will benefit me on my cycle trip tomorrow.

I also sent my stuff on the train to HCMC to pick up in a months time for 100,000 dong roughly 5 dollars.

Also finding out that my visa expires in 7 days from tomorrow I really needed to make a move to Danang to extend it for another month… Well technically I have 9 days but that falls on a Sunday where the embassy is closed.

I also paid for my flight from HCMC to Phuket on the 19^th of December for $11 US but with $17 of extra charges. Really not bad at all.
