We arrived in Nha Trang for our last rest day, intact, but only just.

Apparently the human body contained up to 45 liters of water, past tense. Mine is now running on empty, because I sweated it all out, before 9 o’clock.

This blog is coming to you from the beach on Tan Loc. NB I had to resort to Google Maps for that name. If the truth be known, Vietnam is becoming a bit of a muddle in my head.

It is for people like Harold and his wife Sarah that Jane and I walk. We walk because it could so easily be us. Thousands of pensioners like them are the innocent victims of circumstances beyond their control.

It is almost D-Day for the Vietnam Tour which starts on Wednesday 15 October. The riders are all either on their way or have already arrived.

ZANE Australia is proud to partner with Peter and Georgina for #GodwinsOnTour. For more than twenty years, ZANE has supported Zimbabweans of every background whose circumstances are far harder than our own, offering practical help, and dignity where it is needed most.

I thank God I’m riding my bicycle 3000 kms from Vietnam to Vic Falls. I’m riding with some of my most favourite people – Alastair, Laurie and Fiona Watermeyer.

Peter and Georgina Godwin are touring Western Australia. All events are free and all are welcome. See their timetable

Just 60 more sleeps to Vietnam and our preparations are running like clockwork, alarmingly like one of those old East German alarm clocks- consistently in the wrong time zone and loud like an air raid siren.
