Lookout 1.0

Another day and so many more unforgettable views. We have been sooo lucky with the weather and despite being absolutely freezing there is no rain.
Lookout 2.0

Another stunning stop on the way with the most amazing views. It feels like we have this place to ourselves
Tham Ma Pass

A famous pass of the Ha Giang Loop. It wasn't much fun coming down as the bum and arms are a bit sore after so much time on the bike but still sooooo cool. We never want this to end!
Town water supply

We stopped off to have a look at the local towns water supply. There is no water in this area so the locals have to use this supply. Normally it is very full but Han says it's looking pretty low rightBaca selengkapnya
Final supper together + Coconut Ca Phe

We stopped for our final meal together 😭
Delicious meat, tofu, veges, rice and soup. Enough to warm the soul but felt we needed some extra energy to get us home so enjoyed a Coconut Ca Phe next door.
Lookout 3.0

An absolute stunner. We were initially serenaded by some karaoke while we took in the sights. It's hard to believe we can still feel so overwhelmed by the view when the last few days have beenBaca selengkapnya

Last Lookout

All great things must come to an end. With only 10kms to go we had our last little stop to take in the view. We've loved spending time with Quyet and Han and honestly couldn't have had a better time.Baca selengkapnya

We arrived back at base and met up with some of the other guys who had just finished the tour. We didn't have much time before the bus arrived to take us to Hanoi. A sad goodbye
Bus Ride to Hanoi

We jumped in a bus/mini van to go to Hanoi. We hadn't even got out of Ha Giang before we had a car crash, our driver just wound down the window and went nuts at the other driver despite him being atBaca selengkapnya
Dinner

We stopped off at a restaurant for some dinner. We went with a safe option Pho Bo. Potentially there was cat on the menu......

Breakfast

Free breakfast was included with our accommodation but apparently not at the same place. We were told it was just around the corner but got led down the road, around the corner, up an alley and into aBaca selengkapnya
Egg Coffee

First stop in Hanoi is the famous Egg Coffee. This is where it originated in 1946 because milk was so scarce. This is my favourite egg coffee I've had. So thick and creamy!
The chairs weren't veryBaca selengkapnya

There were people everywhere and most people were being turned away by security. Somehow we snuckBaca selengkapnya
Train Street 1.0

A very famous street with the tourists. A narrow street with cafes on each side with the train tracks running down the middle. Apparently it is illegal to just walk down the tracks without stoppingBaca selengkapnya
Mural Street

Another must do while in Hanoi is checking out the murals on Mural Street below the railway lines. Absolutely stunning works of art.
Bahn Mi 25

By this point we were feeling hungry! A highly recommended Bahn Mi place was not too far from the murals so we made our way there. It was soo popular, mostly with the tourists but was absolutelyBaca selengkapnya
Ho Chi Minh Museum

We caught a Grab to the Ho Chi Minh Museum and Mausoleum as we didn't want to waste 30mins of our limited time walking across the city. Turns out the mausoleum to see Ho Chi Minh is only open in theBaca selengkapnya

We picked up another grab to head back to the city and got about half way and jumped out because traffic was so bad it was quicker to walk! We were headed for more coffee but stumbled across a bun caBaca selengkapnya
