Drive from Cat Tiên to Da Lat via Di Lihn

Most breath taking views through the mountains, pictures don't really do this justice but most roads were perfect and empty as we made our way up to the mountain town.

Journey to ho chi minh, time there and journey out

Image
After 7 days and Joe buying a motorbike and realising it's a death trap and swapping it for another from a reputable seller (styles) we finally left ho chi Minh.

Phong Nha to Hanoi and the Limestone loop

We ventured north from Phong Nha and soon found the weather was extremely against us as the rain started coming down, we were not prepared for this after weeks of sunshine. We stopped for 2 nights in Hanoi between so we could purchase water proofs and warmer clothes and whilst here i was fortunate to meet someone who wanted to buy my bike! Without a heavy heart i sold it and rented a new bike for the second half of our journey which has been a delight to ride. The Limestone loop is a beautiful drive south West out of Hanoi to Mai chai where we stayed in a stunning homestay with a morning view across the rice Paddy's then west to the Laos border and back through a national park to Hanoi.

This was some isolated areas with very few other vehicles coming down, the main traffic still uses the highway one which comes down the coast line.
