| Highway to... Phong Nha |
I leave tomorrow, so I thought I'd get in one final quick bike ride around the village, checking on the state of the rice fields and countryside in general.
 |
| Country roads... take me home |
The first hing I pass is the dual carriageway, there is finally some progress here, the farthest point from town looks almost finished (and there is some work at the town end too).
 |
| Green fields |
As I cycled round, the sky got rather dramatic, looked like rain.
 |
| I don't know what the sign says, but it makes a statement |
The rice is nearly all ready, turning yellow and ready for harvest. Just in time as it is the rainy season soon.

| Phong Nha view |
Looking back towards Phong Nha is a great view, and one that will hopefully never change, rice fields, colourful graves and the mountains in the distance.
 |
| Money, money, money |
There was a National holiday a few days ago, and so the area around the graveyard was scattered with votive offerings.
 |
| The road to nowhere? |
As I returned to Phong Nha there was a little bit of rain but this cleared up in time for the sunset.
 |
| River deep, mountain high |
Not as good as the previous night, but at least I had my camera this time. Shame I didn't have it with me as this was one of the best sunsets I've ever seen, did get a rubbish shot on my phone though.

The sign mean: "Collecting tax for tourism culture's development"
