Sunday - Bike ride on Cam Kim Island (by Aaron)

Today we rented bikes - Max and I rode on the back of Mom and Dad's bikes . We rode through town to a dock on the river. A ferry was just about ready to leave, so we jumped on with our bikes. This wasn't a ferry like we have in Alaska. It is a boat that has a small space under a platform for people to sit and on top it is full of motorcycles and bicycles and packed with people. We will post some pictures soon. It was very loud. The ride to the island took about 15 minutes.

When we got to the island we rode our bikes around, it was really really hot. We rode through a giant field where they were growing rice, corn, and peanuts. Amazingly there was a paved path through the field for us to ride on. Daddy's bike got a flat tire (probably because he went off a big bump with Max sitting on the back). Then Daddy and Mom walked the bike back to town and Max rode the bike with me on the back. Max was a crazy driver, but no one got hurt luckily.
The first place we came to in town was a motorcycle repair shop where a man very very quickly repaired the tire. After that Max rode with Mom.

We stopped for a soda. I got a sprite - it came in a big glass bottle, but was warm. We sat by a little shack in the shade and had our drinks. The adults all drank beer and got sleepy and didn't want to leave. But we rode around the island some more before taking the ferry back to Hoi An.

The best thing about our hotel is the swimming pool. We were having diving contests for a long time until the manager came and told us to stop jumping and diving and be quiet. It wasn't much fun after that so we got dressed and went to eat a very late lunch. My Dad went to get a massage and my Mom is making us take a rest so we can go out tonight. I have been falling asleep when we are still eating dinner and waking up at 5 am.

Time to go rest. Love Aaron
