Misha was in town so we had breakfast together and took a trip with the motorbike. First stop was the city dump. They dig big holes – fill it with trash and that is it.After that we drove towards the caves and the Ho Chi Minh Highway. On the way we passed a gate. The…
A beautiful blue morning sky over the city – the roads are dry and it was a pleasant 22 degrees. What a nice day to ride to Phong Nha on the best part of the Ho Chi Minh Highway. Monument in Khe Sanh – the first time I see it with blue sky A big…
Had a good breakfast at Vu Homestay at the outskirts of Hue. After that it was time to load the bike and drive to A Lưới to meet a friend for lunch. Close to the Guest-house in Hue one finds the rest of a business idea that didn’t work to good. Thị xã Hương Thủy…
Ready to roll! The rain was gone and I had a new iPhone. Maps loaded and the GPS tracker running. Time to hit the road up to Hue for a one night stop. Adios Su Shi and Mike – see you next time :-) The Marble Mountains close to Da Nang How nice you might…
After a few hours in the rain I arrived finally in Hội An. The rain killed my iPhone so I had to remember where the AirBnB from Mike was. Got really lucky since he walked up to the main street when I was looking for the place – other than that – no way I…
Blue sky and sunshine – a great day for the next leg of the journey. Down to Hội An to meet friends that have rented a big house. Buffalo a bit after Kon Tum next to the road Not a lot of traffic today on the Ho Chi Minh Road War memorial in Đắk Tô…

3 lazy days in Hàm Tiến – go to bed early and wake up early. Time to start the drive up north. Today I want to reach Hiệp Thạnh which is close to Dalat or Da Lat as the Vietnamese call it. Along the way I took some pictures of churches for you and some…
Tet – when all of Vietnam is on the road to visit family. Tet – when most of the places close down. Tet – when the price for a ticket goes up a few hundred percent. Tet – when you want to be somewhere close to a tourist spot to find some easy food options…
Had a good nights rest in the Hoa Sua Motel in Long Hai. Todays trip is not far so I can take it easy along the coast for most of the time. But somehow the Google lady had a mind of her own again and decided for a small detour inland. Well – you can…
8 weeks Thailand – most of it up North in Pai. Meeting old friends and making new ones. It was a very good time – I come back again ;-)The next few days should go down like that: Fly to Saigon, find a motorbike and get out of the city before Tet starts. The goal…
