Honeymoon tandem

The 5am start to get us through and out of Hanoi was well worth it and Olly did an amazing job of not getting us hit by anything! Apparently there's some kind of secret unwritten code to driving on the roads here but from what we could tell, it's the bigger you are, the higher up in the pecking order you are and thus the less you look in your mirrors. Busses literally charge through, swerving from lane to lane like the driver's had way too many sherries. Everybody honks their horns incessantly. And instead of indicating, you 'look' in the direction you plan to go. Awesome.

However, soon we were out of Hanoi and into beautiful countryside. We stayed in a 'Nha Nghi' (homestay) in a village called Phu Thanh en route to Ninh Binh. For
6 dollars a night... let's say you get what you pay for!

Oh and we saw a digger on the edge of a cliff. That was quite exciting!Weiterlesen
