Hung Kings Day was smack in the middle of the week and you can’t really go and schedule a proper holiday. So what did you guys do on this holiday?  The boys in our bike group went to Monkey Island. Left at 5 am and returned at 6 pm. Thank God I didn’t join that one. 😛

Instead, we decided on a short and relaxing (not after conquering 4 bridges) bike ride along Nguyen Huu Tho St. We still left at 5:30 am to escape the heat — yeah I know waking up at a godforsaken hour on a holiday, eh?

The route was just 23 kilometers. And we had our usual breakfast stop at Mimi.

We still witnessed the last few minutes of the sunrise.

Saigon was just stirring when we reached the end of Nguyen Huu Tho St. at 6 am.

Except for this guy on the boat, still happily snoring.

Saw this fisherman readying his nets.

It felt like a lazy, lazy morning really.

We finished early at 7 am and saw lots of people feigning exercise on a holiday morning.How did you spend your holiday?
