Now I am in Nha Trang as expected, although I did not come here by cycling two days but with a bus in about four hours. Soon after I started my ride yesterday morning I lost another spoke from my rear wheel. It was still not detrimental, but the end of the broken spoke got tangled with the chain and this combination destroyed my rear derailleur quite completely. As I was not able to find a proper bike shop in Quy Nhon (I had tried five) I decided to take a bus to Nha Trang together with my bike and try to repair it here.

Yesterday after arriving here I found myseld a hotel, and did some scouting aroud. Just by accident there were several good looking bicycle shops within couple of hundred meters from my hotel. This morning I took the bike to the nearest one and got the broken spokes and the rear derailleur replaced. In addition the repairman did some minor maintenance, so now I am able to ride again. I made a few km tour in the city to test the bike and had lunch in a Japanese brewery restaurant. Lunch was very expensive (225 000 VND, about 9 EUR) but it was worth it.

I added a few more pictures to the Vietnam album today. One of them is a picture of the former rear derailleur.
