Day 21 Ha Giang – Ha Noi 305 km ..and this is the last day of my road trip.. the first 70 km I am still sharing my road with Chris, who has been the best of travelling companions as we ended up spending

Day 20 Dong Van – Ha Giang 127 km ..this ride gave mesmerizing mountain sceneries, some crazy switchbacks and a river to dip in.. but the most interesting were the people who live there.. the ladies wearing

Day 19 Boc Bo – Dong Van 181 km ..there were 81 km of almost undrivable roads still for breakfast this morning.. and I still cannot believe I drove all that, the second gear was my best friend while I

Day 18 Nha Nam – Boc Bo 224 km ..oh, did we get off-road today, deliberately choosing the small roads through the hills of northern Vietnam, we managed to experience so much today, the worst kind of road

Day 17 Cat Ba – Nha Nam 24 km + 1h by ferry + 140 km ..the day in Cat Ba was spent excellently – kayaking between the islands, chilling on some lonely beaches, rock climbing in flip flops and channeling

Day 15 Ninh Binh – Cat Ba 172 km + 1h ferry ride + 24 km ..and it happens again.. I start my day riding with a really fun guy from Israel, but he is driving like crazy and I hardly manage to keep up, and

Day 11 Hue – Long Son 305 km ..as Hue didn’t manage to impress me at all, then early start was just what doctor prescribed.. I set off just before 8 am as I have a long mountain road ahead of me.. just

Day 10 Hoi An – Hue 156 km ..I spent several wonderful days in Hoi An – a beautiful town with a dirty secret.. Hoi An is perfect place for partying, meeting other travellers, eating bahn mi and purchasing

Day 7 Kon Tum – Hoi An 300 km ..yesterday an executive decision was made to cover all 300 km to Hoi An in one day.. and that was one of the best decisions I have made thus far.. ..with butterflies literally

Day 6 Qui Nhon – Kon Tum 200 km ..after spending so many days by the sea, I decided to make a detour through Central Highlands before going to Hoi An, it was just extra 200 km.. and during the first one

Day 4 Nha Trang – Qui Nhon 214 km ..after two days of walking around the city, chilling on the beach and meeting heaps of new people while drinking free beer and eating most delicious homemade dinners

Day 2 Phan Rang – Nha Trang 128km ..with millions of yellow butterflies swarming in the air, I commence my today’s trip.. just a short ride, only a bit more than 100 km to my next destination, but the

DAY 1 Mui Ne – Phan Rang 156km ..the evening before my departure was properly enjoyed and the morning after I felt a bit, let’s just say, tired.. I had already packed the day before, so around 9 am, I
