      Buffalo Hostel

      April 22, 2015 in Vietnam ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

      Woke up in dong hoi again, great little hostel by the train station, buffalo hostel sign outside. Jack read on the menu lady living there had looked after someone after they had a bike accident, and her kid seemed to have adhd. I think he and Jack got on pretty well :D After breakfast we tipped her, I kept a jam baguette for the Road after Pims wisdom yesterday. Had to get the bikes fixed again though after my exhaust fell off! Jacks accelerator and Pims light were not working either. Yesterday before both weren't even starting so at least these were minor issues in comparison. We went back to the same shop we stopped at our first morning in dong hoi after the bus dropped us off. I pulled into a welder on the same street while they're bikes were getting looked at who was conveniently working at the time and I noticed his weld sparks. I came back after a screw bolt bodge job and a half weld around the exhaust (it was good enough) Jacks was an easy fix, and Pims was in bits. After about 20 minutes it still would not start. Then I spotted the engine stop switch was down and pushed it up and hey what do you know?! The bike starts first time! Safe to say he made me promise not to tell Jack.Read more

      Đồng Hới - On the Rail again

      February 5, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Nach einem entspannten Abend haben wir auch heute früh genug Zeit, alles in Ruhe zu packen und im Garten zu frühstücken. Erst um 10.00 Uhr gehts los.
      Mit drei Reisenden aus USA teilen wir uns ein Auto nach Dong Hoi und bekommen gleich noch tolle Tipps für den Norden von Vietnam. Wir können dafür mit Empfehlungen für die Mekongregion aushelfen.
      In Dong Hoi warten wir auf unseren Zug, der uns in 10 Stunden nach Ninh Binh zuckeln wird. Dir Züge in Vietnam sind sehr langsam, schmutzig und an jeder Ecke ist etwas kaputt - aber sie bringen uns von da nach dort! Und wir haben genug Zeit, die phantastische Landschaft zu betrachten: grüne Hügelketten, Karstfelsen, Dschungel, Reisfelder auf denen fleißig gearbeitet wird, Wälder, Flüsse, Dörfer, Landwirtschaft in einfachster Handarbeit, Wasserbüffel... Ein einziger spannender Naturfilm!
