Ninh Bình (bike trip🏍️)

Leaving Hanoi was stressful and long, had never seen so many motorbikes together and the traffic and the disorder were eternal. It was Sebs first contact with a scooter and it became dark pretty fast so it was a bit stressful to get out of there. But then, the first stop on our motorbike trip was absolutely over our expectations. The places we visited, even though not a bargain, were so worth it. We enjoyed so much the place and each others company. Ninh Binh is absolutely a most do in Vietnam

💡Travelling tips: probably vegetarianism and budget travel are quite incompatible in this country. You can find several options with no meat on restaurants and nice cafes, but the cheap street food around 1-2€ will 99% of the time involve meat. Fried rice and vegetable noodles are probably the easiest options outside the variety of big cities. Learn how to say vegetarian in vietnamese to survive the trip.
🔍Some facts: don't get alarmed if you can't find your motorbike after leaving it somewhere, very unlikely that someonen stole it. It's common in Vietnam that people move other people's bikes to their convinience (even one or two streets away)!
🔍 Some facts: there are dragons everywhere in Vietnam because there is a legend that says that Vietnamese people are the descendants of a Dragon and a fairy.
