Back in Hanoi. I kind of escaped back here.. After Silke left I went up to Cao Bang, a tiny town in the mountains, close to the chinese border. Except me there was no (NO! NONE, ZERO! NADA!) western tourist there. And absolutely nobody spoke a word ... Read more >

The first
day is Nha Trang was a bit rainy but gave me a day to wander around the tourist

Delat is
quite a small town, quite pretty, but not a lot to do in the town itself. I’d
mainly come here as it is the base of a company called Easy Riders, who offer
guided motorcycle tours all over Vietnam. I’d arranged a three day motorcycle

Hanoi is most interesting! Especially the way they drive in town!! Thousands of millions of cars and motorcycles and just EVERYBODY is driving where there is a free spot. No rules at all. Still I feel pretty save on the back of a motorcycle-taxi. Amazing ... Read more >

In one of the easiest decisions we've ever made, we have decided to
change our flight plans and head out to Laos a couple of days early. I
don't mean to be too hard on poor Hanoi, but it just really isn't our

Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon as it is still referred to locally is a sprawling city of some 8 million people (and apparently 6 million motorcycles). It’s hard to say where the city starts or ends as the roads in this part of the world are inevitably lined ... Read more >

So before I delve into more storytelling I forgot to mention one thing in Hanoi - I was at a cafe having breakfast and this random Vietnamese man was taking photos of me and wouldn't stop! I tried to ask what he was doing and all he said was that he ... Read more >

Hanoi just got more and more chaotic! The next day we went to Halong Bay which is about 3 hours north of Hanoi. The weather wasn't the greatest but we sailed on a 'junk' boat all day inbetween limestone rocks and walked through caves. On the way home ... Read more >

I know Cambodia is not at the top of everybody’s sightseeing list but I think it is an absolute must see. We took the bus from Saigon to Phnom Phen, a very dirty and bumpy 6-hour drive. We quickly learnt that toilets are nearly non-existent ... Read more >
