Danang and more

Lilly was ready for collection and I had a hotel for the night. However Danang was warm and welcoming, did I really want to leave just yet?

It was Sunday morning and I knew I wasn’t ready to leave. I’d had a couple of long days in the saddle and I thought I deserved a day off.

So I stayed another night. I had to swap hotels as mine was fully booked, but what a result the sister hotel 50m away was half the price.

I was headed to ride the Hi Van Pass again when I saw a paraglider. Later I looked them up, sent a message and at 2pm I was in a taxi to Monkey Mountain.

The instruction was clear “Just run off the edge, don’t stop running”. Seems straight forward enough. Once inflated the paraglider was hard to pull against and I’m not sure Thai, the pilot, would have managed on his own. But we did get going and took that leap of faith. Once off the edge you simply sit back and enjoy the flight. Its so quiet and peaceful. You can hear people on the fishing boats talking.

It was all over too quickly but a fantastic experience
