Ashley and I in front of the Ly Ha Hotel

After a few days, it was time to ride on. Had a great time again at the Ly Ha Hotel. The weather report looked not too ba,d so up North it was.

Ashley – ready to take off to the South towards Phong Nha

The meat shop was in the rain, and it looked like it would rain for the rest of the day. No excuse for the wicked. Got my stuff on the bike, and it was time to say goodbye.

See you soon Trần!

At the traffic circle in Phố Châu – no clue why they need this in the middle of nowhere?

Rice planting in Rừng Thông – still raining and it is cold after the whole day on the bike. Time to find a hotel.

My bed at the hotel in xã Đông Anh

Toilet paper, a remote, and condoms

There was only blue light in the bathroom? This way you will have problems to shoot up!

The Boss insisted that I take the bike inside – so I did

Todays Drive

243 Kilometres in 6 hours and 12 minutes with a few rain stops, some shopping, and a gas stop as well

The next Morning

The Boss was quite happy in the morning! See you again :-)

Working in the rice fields of Rice planting in Bừt Sơn – still Gray but dry!

Arrived in the afternoon at Việt’s and Hoàn’s home, and they served me a wonderful lunch

Todays Drive

82 Kilometers in 2 hours and 11 minutes with a coffee and gas stop

Sapphire Truong Thinh Hotel in Ninh Binh

Việt and Hoàn opened the hotel in February 2017, so I was the first guest. They cook every evening, and everybody sits together and eats. Great way to meet new friends. Also, I got vegetarian food, and it was really good. The same goes for breakfast, since they asked me what I wanted for breakfast. Next to the hotel is a great soup place that serves traditional soup and BBQ in the morning. Usually they are sold out around 8:30 in the morning. So if you get up late, you can not try.
