      Bâo Lac (bike trip🏍️)

      May 25, 2022 in Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Plans had to change last minute due to the bad condition of the road. Because of the heavy rain there where landslides, fallen trees and floods everywhere on our way to the National Park of Ba Be. So at some point we couldn't cross the river because of a huge overflow. We had to drive all the way back and find another way, so it would have been to long to get there, so we ended up finding another way and ditching on Ba Be. Still we found an interesting town with a very nice market, and we decided to go towards China from there. So Sebastian decided to go back to Hanoi from here, so it was departing time. It was a sad and a weird feeling to spread after so many days, we were already such a formed group.
      💡Travelling tips: you'll find that they have wifi even on the dirtiest and most simple places, so always ask for it because you might be surprised!

      Ha Giang

      September 16, 2022 in Vietnam ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Von Ha Giang aus gestartet Richtung Lung Fu (Flagpole).
      Die erste Stunde Fahrt war wunderschön: kurvige Straßen die Berge rauf und runter und alles riecht nach Zimt und war leicht verregnet - Herbstfeeling.
      Danach war ich so weit oben auf den Bergen, dass ich in den Wolken war. Durch die Fichten und den Nebel gab's hier richtiges Kalmit-Feeling.
      Es hat richtig angefangen zu regnen und durch den Nebel könnte man kaum etwas sehen. Daher gab's einen Stop mit heißem Tee zum Aufwärmen und "Trocknen". Das Wetter sah nicht nach Besserung aus, deshalb die kurzfristige Entscheidung doch direkt Richtung Bao Lac (Süden) zu fahren.
      Auf der Strecke waren einige Erdrutsche an denen man vorbei musste. Zudem wird gerade die Nationalstraße 2 ausgebaut wodurch zum Teil kilometerlange Strecken über Schotter und Schlamm führen. Unschönes Gefühl bei Bergstrecken ohne Absperrung und LKWs auf der "Gegenspur" 😅.
      Mitten auf dem Berggipfel habe ich Arthur wiedergetroffen, der mir von Straßensprengungwn am Vortag erzählt hat. 5 Fahrtminuten später wird die Straße vor mir gesprengt 😄..

      Bao Lac

      December 31, 2023 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      L’ultimo giorno dell’anno abbiamo vissuto un’altra avventura e abbiamo guidato per 3 ore verso Bao Lac, un piccolo paesino nelle montagne.
      Abbiamo viaggiato su una strada di montagna, andando su e giù e facendo tante curve.
      È stato molto bello ed emozionante.
      Abbiamo però vissuto anche una parte piuttosto paurosa. Nella zona c’è un bellissimo passo (Khau Coc Cha) con tante curve (allego una foto di come dovrebbe essere in condizioni normali).
      Purtroppo stanno facendo diversi lavori di rinnovo e la strada è un casino: packer, trivelle e camion che rompono e muovono sassi, sabbia e polvere ovunque, e una strada tortuosa, sabbiosa e sassosa, dove bisogna fare attenzione a non scivolare o perdere l’equilibrio. In più c’e molta pendenza quindi rende il viaggio ancora più difficile.
      Però ce l’abbiamo fatta e siamo arrivato a Bao Lac sani e salvi.
      Ma eravamo così stanchi che abbiamo fatto cena e alle 20.00 siamo andati a dormire.
      È stata una bella fine 2023 😃

      ———————————————

      On the last day of the year we had another adventure and drove for 3 hours to Bao Lac, a small village in the mountains.
      We traveled on a mountain road, going up and down and making lots of turns. It was very beautiful and exciting.
      However, we also experienced a rather fearful part. In the area there is a beautiful pass (Khau Coc Cha) with many curves (I am attaching a photo of how it should be in normal conditions). Unfortunately they are doing several renovations and the street is a mess: packers, drills and trucks that break and move stones, sand and dust everywhere, and a terrible, sandy and stony road, where you have to be careful not to slip or lose the balance. In addition, there is a lot of slope so it makes the journey even more difficult.
      But we did it and we arrived at Bao Lac safe and sound.
      We were so tired that we had dinner and at 20.00 we went to sleep.
      A nice end of 2023 😃

      Matschprobe

      October 30, 2016 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      Heute geht es ohne LKW auf einer kleinen Lehmstraße rund um einen Berg an der chinesischen Grenze entlang. Andi besteht die Matschprobe ohne große Probleme. Danach packen wir unsere Sachen auf die Mopeds und es geht über den spektakulären Ma Pi Leng Pass Richtung Süden bis Meo Vac. Wir sind etwas spät dran, daher lassen wir weitere Lehmstraßen aus und fahren auf der etwas langweiligen Hauptstraße weiter nach Bao Lac. Dort übernachten wir als einzige in einem großen Hotel, was offensichtlich schon mal bessere Zeiten gesehen hat. Wir bekommen den "VIP room" für 8€ die Nacht. Ein eigenes Badezimmer und zwei Fenster - soviel "Luxus" hatten wir die letzen zwei Tage nicht.Read more
