Kuala Lumpur

We enjoyed a two night stop over in Kuala Lumpur. We stayed at Bukit Bintang, the modern side of KL. We ate at the food street, played in KLCC Park and went to the movies twice: Despicable M3 and The Czytaj więcej
Ho Chi Minh City

HCMC is as hectic as we'd been told. The city was noisy and busy. Scooters and cars cloggef the streets. Tourists raced around to the sites during the day and drank themselves stupid on pub street at Czytaj więcej
Ho Chi Minh City to Buon Ma Thuot

We caught the bus from HCMC to Buon Ma Thuot. The city took a long time to let us go. For over two hours we crawled through the clogged streets of HCMC. It was such a relief when we finally left the Czytaj więcej
Thác Dray Nur

We rented motorbikes for two days and rode from Buon Ma Thuot to Dray Nur Waterfall. The heavens opened as we arrived at the waterfall so we took shelter in the restaurant for half an hour before Czytaj więcej
Buon Ma Thuot

We spent three awesome nights in Buon Ma Thuot. We stayed at Lys Hotel about 3.5km north of town. The town had a cinema where we watched the terrible Transformers movie but it was still awesome to Czytaj więcej
Hõ Ea Kao

Lake Ea Kao is only 12km from Buon Ma Thuot. We started by riding along the dam wall. The refections across the lake were amazing. Rice fields and tumble down shacks dot the landscape here. On the far Czytaj więcej
Buon Ma Thuot to Pleiku

We caught the bus from Buon Ma Thuot to Pleiku. We were the only foreigners on the bus for the four hour trip. Having top bunks on the sleeper bus meant we swayed quite a bit as we rounded the Czytaj więcej
Biên Hõ

We spent hours exploring Lake Biên. It is a crater lake that supports an agricultural community. Tea, coffee and rice are the main crops grown here. At it's northern end the lake is more a swamp Czytaj więcej
Pleiku / Gia Lai

We spent three nights in Pleiku, which is known locally as Gia Lai. The town only has a population of about 250,000. There's so much delicious and cheap street food. We bought a kite to fly one Czytaj więcej
Chůr Đăng crater

We rode motorbikes from Pleiku to Kon Tum via Chůr Đăng volcanic crater. We rode down local roads until nearly the end when two local men pointed us down a red dirt track to a path up the crater. Czytaj więcej
Pleiku to Kon Tum

We followed secondary roads from Pleiku to Kon Tum. It was 80km but took most of the day. The high pitched sound of cicadas filled the air. Other than that, the only sounds were our motorbikes and the Czytaj więcej
Kon Kotu

Our host at the homestay took us to Kon Kotu hill village. We rode along dirt roads through the mountains past rice fields. The height of the village hall determines the power of the village. This one Czytaj więcej
Kon Tum

We spent two nights at the Viet Nam Phuot Homestay in Kon Tum. The family were incredible. They fed us delicious food straight from their garden. The daughter took us out to see the sights of Kon Tum, Czytaj więcej
Kon Tum to Pleiku

The ride down QL14 (aka AH17) was fast. After just one hour of riding through the mountains we returned to Pleiku from where we will catch a bus to Da Nang. For the most part, the ride was easy. But, Czytaj więcej
Pleiku to Da Nang

The bus company collected us from our hotel at 7pm. The 16 seater mini bus is full and yet more people are being picked up. A sign of things to come. At the bis station there were about 10 buses with Czytaj więcej
Arriving in Danang

It's 4.30am when we arrive in Da Nang. We're still asleep on the bus and no one wakes us (nor the other sleeping passengers). Bleery eyed we face the throng of taxi and moto drivers. We have no idea Czytaj więcej
Dragon Bridge fire show

We learn that the Dragon Bridge in Da Nang breaths fire at 9pm every weekend. It's Sunday and the only weekend night that we will be in the area so we ride the 45 minutes to Da Nang to see the Czytaj więcej
Hoi An

After being out in the mountains, Hoi An is a shock to the system. When we arrive the ancient town is wall to wall tourists. A tiny cup of iced coffee costs as much as at home and the dual pricing Czytaj więcej
Hoi An to Prao

Leaving Hoi an we wriggle our way west through dusty townships. Quiet mountain roads beckon but first we must battle roadworks and road users who scored highly on the "drive without looking" exam. Czytaj więcej
Prao to Hué

Neither words not photos can do justice to the bends, views and road quality of the ride from Prao to Hué. For the first hour we follow a river that cuts a swath through the mountains. Wide at first, Czytaj więcej
Hué

Hué is another of Vietnam's main tourist towns. Menus in the main tourist area are published in English and Korean depending on the target market. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Czytaj więcej
