Craziest day so far from Hue to Hoi An🛵

- Taking on the grand plan to go from Hue to Hoi An via the Hai Van pass with a motorbike
- Waking up to rain pouring down on streets of Hue and still being optimistic that it will get better on the way and after the pass on the other side of the mountain range 😅
- Driving slowly through some of the heaviest non-stop rain I've ever had and realizing that it does not get any better -> everything was wet after 30min no matter the rain jacket and cover
- Trying to maintain focus with trucks and buses constantly honking at you from behind like "Here I come. Move out of the way" 😂
- Taking some road showers from bypassing trucks and buses on the highway
- Warming ourselves up at a roadstop with a warm noodle soup and a tea for lunch -> wouldn't have made it without this as I was quite cold after a while...
- Going up the Hai Van pass and getting told by locals midway that the pass is closed due to a flooding
- Deciding on an emergency plan and loading our motorbikes on a truck that would bring us through the tunnel below the pass (motorbikes not allowed to drive through the tunnel 😅)
- Circling through Da Nang avoiding closed roads (due to flooding) and trying to overcome the countless knee-deep and sometimes even waist-deep puddles on the city streets
- Arriving to Hoi An completely soaked through and exhausted after an almost 7h ride

-> Got no pictures of the ride itself as it was impossible to shoot pictures in the ceaseless rain 🤣. But believe me, it was for sure the craziest and wildest day of this trip so far for me. Glad that I still did it but also don't have to do it again under such conditions 😄Read more
