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 to bad so up North it was.

Meat shop in the rain and it looked like it will rain for the rest of the day. No excuse for the wicked. Got my stuff on the bike and it was time to say good bye.

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 want 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 round 8:30 in the morning. So if you get up late you can not try.
