South East Asia bike tour- Dien Chau to Vinh – Day4
The route I worked out for today using Bikemap.net was perfect on totally traffic free roads and hugging the coastline. However, the weather was far from perfect! Incessant cold rain, more like an English winter ride than a sub tropical one. The beaches all looked very sad & desolate even though I’m sure they are…

South East Asia bike ride day 3 – Thanh Hoa to Dien Chau
With a snore score of 18% and above mild intensity I think Sally’s idea of a low snore score been due to the adrenaline from yesterday’s excitement wins over my hard mattress theory. I remember reading once you should aim to be scared at least once a day 🙂 The breakfast offered by the Sao Mai…

The HanoiMoment2 hotel arranged the trip: Overnight trip on the Aclass Opera Cruise with 01 deluxe cabin @ USD 149.00 per person x 2…

Arrival in Vietnam & first day in Hanoi
I arrived at the Hanoi Moment2 Hotel just after midnight (5pm UK time) today after leaving Cambridge at 2.20pm on Sunday, so a pretty exhausting day, I didn’t get much sleep even though I had 3 seats on the 787 to myself. China Southern Airways was OK although they do fret about Lithium batteries in…
