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…
