Costal Crew
Not much I miss about home, but the bike is one of them. Not that I can ride like these fellas: wicked photography, great trails and some handsome tricks… MTBing at it’s best from the Coastal Crew.
Happy Hội An
Only 20 days left!
Saigon was pleasant, if unremarkable… crazy traffic excepted. Can Tho & the Mekong Delta thereafter proved suitably relaxing, though that probably had something to do with our overnight stay on the Bassac. Spent a couple of days sampling the great diving on offer in Nha Trang while Mime pottered about town. Then endured a heinous 12 hour overnight bus trip up the central Vietnamese coast.
Worth it though. Hội An is echoes of old Vietnam: narrow, atmospheric streets, warm lanterns (not a fluorescent bulb in sight), wafts of vietnamese coffee and mouthwatering spices, beautiful low tiled houses, enterprising tailors & great arts and crafts.
Just gone 8am, better scoot for my soft, fresh baguette and some homemade strawberry compote.
Thailand pics coming up…
