Vietnam here I come
... and say that at this stage I was cursing the bike, cycling, China, the wan*ers who were passing me in cars and beeping and anything else I could think of. Finally though, sweating and legs burning, I seen the beautiful crest of the hill and the city of Wuzhishan at the bottom.
