The distance from Hue to Dong Hoi is too far to bike. So we leave the hotel a bit earlier at 7:00 am to visit the Purple Citadel of Hue. Then a concise transfer you by van/bus to an out of town to start the ride. Today' ride is effortless because we ride on flat smooth country back roads, and some parts are open air. Some features are through villages, passing vegetable fields, and remote villages with many old pagodas and temples. We will have lunch at Cua Viet Beach. In the afternoon, we continue cycling on beautiful coastal roads to Cua Tung. We end up on today's ride here for 2 hours, driving on the A/C van to Dong Hoi.
