    Cao Bang day 1

    May 21, 2024 in Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    I arrived into Cao Bang about 5am this morning, and squeezed in a few more hours of sleep before getting up to source some food. My two buses yesterday covered just over 850k, so thought I'd have a rest day today.
    I rented a bicycle from another hostel down the road, and cycled into town and found a cute vegan restaurant. I then cycled around the rest of the city. There wasn't a lot going on tbh but it was good to get the legs moving.
    Later I found some more food, then headed back to the hostel. A very uneventful day.
    The owner of the hostel Lyn is super lovely and helpful, I've booked a one day tour of the Cao Bang motorbike loop for tomorrow. You can spread it out over two days, however the one day itinerary sounds like it packs a lot in, plus the only thing I really wanted to do up here was see the Ban Gioc waterfalls, so I'm very excited for tomorrow!
