Our Start on the Ho Chi Minh Trail

Drove from dong hoi North West again towards the ho chi minh tay at midday and got into it by 1 I think. The road was beyond words. Not a soul in sight for kilometres, just the open slab roads with gravel either side, steep drops and cliffs, and jungle. The forest was so thick! Views were amazing, wanted to stop for photos every 3 mins. Took some good ones I hope. It rained at one point and we drove down a small side mud Road Under someone's shelter and it turned out he opened up the side of his house with snacks, just after Jack said he wanted to move on to find some food. Snacks were terrible tho, cardboard biscuits. Kids were shy of us. Said gà moon and tan beuyt and took run ups for the steep damp exit. Kept heading south until our planned left turn off of the highway which ran towards the Vinh mốc tunnels.Läs mer
