Along the sunny coast
30 декабря 2025 г., Вьетнам ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
A bit of a rough night sleep wise. Though “beds” were relatively comfy, we seemed to go on very rough roads making for a lot of bumping. Arrive in Nha Trang quite early and make for a coffee shop.Читать далее
A New Years Eve by the sea
31 декабря 2025 г., Вьетнам ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

A long New Years Day ride
2 января, Вьетнам ⋅ 🌬 26 °C
The new year starts with a resort breakfast. As I can’t convince myself to eat Eastern style breakfasts, options are a bit more limited. With the wind at our back we continue along the coastline.Читать далее
La Gi
2 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Make our way slowly out of the sprawl of Mui Ne and then Phiet Nam. Dodge the self-centered drivers of all sorts who pull out in front of you without even bothering to yield. Stay along the coastlineЧитать далее
On to Vung Tau
3 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Another windy ride along the coast. As we have seen in other places, there is a a lot of construction; mostly building big name resorts that seem very far from the rest of Vietnam. With the windЧитать далее
To the Mekong Delta
4 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Slow morning. Must have been because we were up late watching the finale of Stranger Things. Find a nice place for breakfast before riding around the peninsula in search of a ferry. Find it and jumpЧитать далее
Ben Tre

Tra Vinh

Can Tho
7 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
A day of small roads amongst fruit trees. So many different kinds; bananas, coconuts, dragon fruit, pomelos, oranges, jackfruit, limes and likely more. Huge bridge to cross to get to Can Tho, theЧитать далее
Deep into the delta to Rach Gia
8 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Long day planned to get us to Rach Gia where we will catch the ferry to the island of Phu Quoc. Spend most of the day on very small paths alongside the channels. Lots of branches, meaning lots ofЧитать далее
Hectic day to Phu Quoc
9 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

Ong Lang

Day to transition to our bungalow for the remainder of our time. Do a bit of beach yoga and frolic in the calm sea. Pack up and head north. Enjoy a quiet promenade for a bit before hitting the chaosЧитать далее
Ong Long Beach Day

Scuba Day

Last beach day

Back through the canals
16 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Get an early start as we have a big day ahead. Retrace our “steps”, and the small paths and steep little bridges are still slow going. It’s also quite toasty. After lunch, my derailleur has aЧитать далее
It’s pretty but …
17 января, Вьетнам ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
small canal paths take forever. Though we start nice and early, another high mileage day keeps us riding all day long. Find ourselves on single track paths amongst the rice fields. This is followed byЧитать далее
