My motorbike and I travelled on the overnight train from Saigon to Danang which I thought might be novelty as I haven't been on an overnight train in Vietnam for a long time. It was mostly ok but the standards haven't improved over the years. Cleanliness maybe next to Godliness but God must have forsaken the rail system. My bike was crated up and it took a while to find it as no one at the office titled "Dispatching & Receiving Motorcycles and Luggage" had a clue where it was. A kindly Xe Om (moto taxi) driver found it for me so once Big Fella was uncaged we headed south to An Bang Beach, Hoi An.</font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: black; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: black; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial">After a few days R&R I loaded up and headed off to Prao located near the Vietnamese/Laos border but the virus put paid to the idea of staying at Bho Hoong Bungalows as they were closed to visitors so after a simple lunch, I continued on to Khe Sanh a further 210 kms distant.</font></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: black; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U62npUhpWXg/Xwb6-xdDweI/AAAAAAAAGdI/8YXDA8f2FV07r3AjwxYjP4r66RiIZYFHwCK4BGAsYHg/s3284/IMG_1568.jpeg" style="background-color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2289" data-original-width="3284" height="436" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U62npUhpWXg/Xwb6-xdDweI/AAAAAAAAGdI/8YXDA8f2FV07r3AjwxYjP4r66RiIZYFHwCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h436/IMG_1568.jpeg" width="625" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tJUj6e6Os0s/Xwb57-XShHI/AAAAAAAAGcE/RX3mEFv4OwQTZQkD1srL5ssrSeOtwX9gwCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6031.jpg" style="background-color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tJUj6e6Os0s/Xwb57-XShHI/AAAAAAAAGcE/RX3mEFv4OwQTZQkD1srL5ssrSeOtwX9gwCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6031.jpg" width="625" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dQ8-9XOrGiI/XwcBhYHvqmI/AAAAAAAAGeM/eE5IdDnuk6gq4oHYzX-w8ECxBhc0h6LnACK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6035.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dQ8-9XOrGiI/XwcBhYHvqmI/AAAAAAAAGeM/eE5IdDnuk6gq4oHYzX-w8ECxBhc0h6LnACK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6035.jpg" width="625" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div></div></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: justify;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><img alt="Mortar Magnets" Don Feight C-130 Open Print - Battle of Khe Sanh ..." height="350" src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/OKUAAOSwD0lUdUFE/s-l300.jpg" width="469" /></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="courier" style="background-color: black;">President Johnson was "determined that Khe Sanh [would not] be an 'American Dien Bien Phu'".

About 15 or so local tourists arrived and everyone of them wanted to take a photo with me, either individually or as part of a group picture, with every camera available. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">From Khe Sanh I followed the Ho Chi Minh Road West as it zig and zagged through stunning scenery, along the banks of rivers, up and over passes, forever twisting and turning, rising up and dropping away again. Past the villages of ethnic minority groups of the Bru Van Kieu and the rare small towns. With about 2 hours riding to go I stopped for a late lunch in the magnificent valley of Truong Son. I pulled in to a place and went straight to the fridge to get some water to refill my Camelback. As they didn't have any large bottles cold, I grabbed two 500ml bottles and poured them in. The woman working offered me some ice which I added to my water relishing the idea of some cold water whilst on the road. The temperature was about around 40C and kitted out in moto gear gets incredibly hot so the ice was a bonus. I also grabbed some instant noodles for lunch but she turfed them aside and made me some real noodles which were delicious. After lunch I took some photos of the valley and reluctantly continued north. However, the water wasn't tasting quite right but I put that down to possibly the ice adding an unpleasant flavour.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vV89Kb2Uhks/XwbmTgIrJdI/AAAAAAAAGXA/FBc02vCwj_Yz_hjuFeT4EQ69FyuHui2TACK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6304.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="625" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vV89Kb2Uhks/XwbmTgIrJdI/AAAAAAAAGXA/FBc02vCwj_Yz_hjuFeT4EQ69FyuHui2TACK4BGAsYHg/w416-h625/6D1A6304.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4yJeP-kmyDw/XwbfwKAIeDI/AAAAAAAAGVU/kR_iDpv3bWoOIKy2ON5E3OXwGsLp6o5JgCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6082.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="781" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4yJeP-kmyDw/XwbfwKAIeDI/AAAAAAAAGVU/kR_iDpv3bWoOIKy2ON5E3OXwGsLp6o5JgCK4BGAsYHg/w520-h781/6D1A6082.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">With a total of 230 kms for the day to complete the heat had made me weary but the joy of being alone on a motorbike, riding through such an amazing landscape was well worth the effort. I missed a few gear changes during the course of the afternoon and when I did make my way down to the outskirts of Phong Nha, for the life of me I couldn't remember if i was heading to Phong Nha Homestay or Farmstay. When I managed to pick up the network signal again i stopped to look at the website for the Farmstay which I knew to be run by Ben from Aus and his wife Bich but the home page had a French and a Russian flag on it. This confused the living daylights out of me as I was reasonably sure I was heading to the Farmstay but then I saw a sign for the Homestay and headed in that direction. But my gut was telling me that I shouldn't be going to the Homestay so I sent Ben a message to confirm and it was the Farmstay I was heading for. I arrived just on dusk; hot, weary and in need of 3 litres of water and a beer and was made very welcome by Bich and Ben. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7xDpSDNMc1E/XwbiIT2YtaI/AAAAAAAAGVw/Zew-JaHp15E3nF6eqYalHIvVxrVlzzP3QCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6089.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="625" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7xDpSDNMc1E/XwbiIT2YtaI/AAAAAAAAGVw/Zew-JaHp15E3nF6eqYalHIvVxrVlzzP3QCK4BGAsYHg/w416-h625/6D1A6089.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">It was the next day sorting out my gear when I realised what had happened. Instead of putting two 500ml bottles of water in my Camelback I had put in a litre of rice wine. Luckily there was still probably 300mls of water in the bladder when I topped it up and the ice would also have helped dilute it but it does explain why my riding skills were worse than usual and why I couldn't remember where I was meant to be staying.</font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><b>Top Tip:</b> Avoid indulging in the local firewater when a) dehydrated, b) not sure where you are going and c) whilst piloting a motorcycle in remote regions on a day when the ambient temperature is ferocious. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eJuN5aeImpo/XwbjvVSQ3JI/AAAAAAAAGWM/-b4rC0M4SDElKr6Ay8YkUWC88M34b9BwwCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6078.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eJuN5aeImpo/XwbjvVSQ3JI/AAAAAAAAGWM/-b4rC0M4SDElKr6Ay8YkUWC88M34b9BwwCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6078.jpg" width="625" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QLD-Z_EBmKw/Xwbj-rfuhII/AAAAAAAAGWc/d11H02cWHJMpefBQU-VuRFXb2ntYAKXxwCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6106.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="781" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QLD-Z_EBmKw/Xwbj-rfuhII/AAAAAAAAGWc/d11H02cWHJMpefBQU-VuRFXb2ntYAKXxwCK4BGAsYHg/w520-h781/6D1A6106.jpg" width="520" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">If the temperature was a few degrees cooler, Phong Nha would have been paradise. Don't get me wrong, the place is beyond imagination. Mountains jagged and jungle clad, rice fields that are an astonishing green and the region is home to an extensive network of caves capped off by Son Doong the world's largest known cave. Suspension bridges slung across lazy rivers, hamlets nestled in the lee of the mountains and sunsets that sizzle in to the dark. </font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QSsi0VRZZFk/XwbmjY2rYBI/AAAAAAAAGXU/gPnN-R8G4T0I_cD2Afo8gd_6GkJG33P2gCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6118-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="781" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QSsi0VRZZFk/XwbmjY2rYBI/AAAAAAAAGXU/gPnN-R8G4T0I_cD2Afo8gd_6GkJG33P2gCK4BGAsYHg/w520-h781/6D1A6118-2.jpg" width="520" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-No65xuIYrCQ/XwbmrkGjkqI/AAAAAAAAGXg/cpqe5MoBsSI6Upn5KWxnMmg8nV_SXy6DwCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6152.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="781" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-No65xuIYrCQ/XwbmrkGjkqI/AAAAAAAAGXg/cpqe5MoBsSI6Upn5KWxnMmg8nV_SXy6DwCK4BGAsYHg/w520-h781/6D1A6152.jpg" width="520" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">Son Doong Cave may be the BIG ONE and it is on my list of things to do but the cost is the hard part. Somewhere in the vicinity of $3000 USD to visit and takes between 4-7 days with a team of porters and guides. But as a once in a lifetime opportunity it must be amazing to be in a cave with its own weather patterns, interior jungles and clouds inside the cave. I ventured to the "not too shabby" Paradise Cave which, though the climb up the steps to the entrance was energy sapping just from the humidity, once at the cave mouth the air flowing out was as good as air conditioning. I didn't actually hold much hope that the cave would impress me so I was a bloody happy to chap to have the place virtually to myself and I found it fascinating. </font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XrWIHKRCjcE/XwboioiihQI/AAAAAAAAGYI/sOfnUdkFKi4ZAtn6eCAalrhJxOErYX5-gCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6192.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XrWIHKRCjcE/XwboioiihQI/AAAAAAAAGYI/sOfnUdkFKi4ZAtn6eCAalrhJxOErYX5-gCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6192.jpg" width="625" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pc-z2hso2qQ/Xwbop6fCmaI/AAAAAAAAGYU/BQ2xazDAiW89DqJLx8dB_hkrpqvK7TD5ACK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6183.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pc-z2hso2qQ/Xwbop6fCmaI/AAAAAAAAGYU/BQ2xazDAiW89DqJLx8dB_hkrpqvK7TD5ACK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6183.jpg" width="625" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mxR-lVDjPQE/Xwb5Ns2eXiI/AAAAAAAAGbc/gcohUm1ucHExzF3q1EtsDBFM0NMyjr5kQCK4BGAsYHg/s960/IMG_1679.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="469" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mxR-lVDjPQE/Xwb5Ns2eXiI/AAAAAAAAGbc/gcohUm1ucHExzF3q1EtsDBFM0NMyjr5kQCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h469/IMG_1679.jpeg" width="625" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">After a few days in the Phong Nha National park area I had the dilemma of determining which way to go back to Hoi An and decided that the route was so good that I would ride back the way I came but instead of going through to Prao I would turn off at A Luoi and ride to the former Imperial City of Hue. </font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GA-IaUbDZ8M/XwbqpZN9EPI/AAAAAAAAGY4/JdKU75-PuLQGWaqL2x9B_g6r75hNTMQQgCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6337-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="625" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GA-IaUbDZ8M/XwbqpZN9EPI/AAAAAAAAGY4/JdKU75-PuLQGWaqL2x9B_g6r75hNTMQQgCK4BGAsYHg/w416-h625/6D1A6337-2.jpg" width="416" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--LVS0CR_dmg/Xwb5mZuemXI/AAAAAAAAGbw/20hTUT5B5Dw_JkR0v6stEzbe-ronIex4ACK4BGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_1597.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><font color="#ffffff"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="469" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--LVS0CR_dmg/Xwb5mZuemXI/AAAAAAAAGbw/20hTUT5B5Dw_JkR0v6stEzbe-ronIex4ACK4BGAsYHg/w625-h469/IMG_1597.jpeg" width="625" /></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#ffffff" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><span style="background-color: black; font-family: sans-serif;"><font color="#ffffff"><br /></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">Like most of Central Vietnam when it's hot it's really bloody hot but when winter comes the air is dense and cold and the chill creeps in to every part of your being. Luckily it was still scorching hot when I got to Hue which was no surprise at all. Coming down from A Luoi I was trying to stay ahead of two local buses that were being flogged by their respective drivers. We ended up racing each other which is not a smart thing to do but sometimes a bloke's gotta do do what he's gotta do. On the uphills sections I could blow them in to the weeds but on the downhills they knew every inch of the road and maximised their local knowledge. After about 30 minutes of this and realising that it was sheer madness I pulled over and let them disappear in to the heat haze and dust. </font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" size="5" style="background-color: black;"><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial">It was good to be wandering around Hue on my own stopping to take photos as I pleased but that all nearly came unstuck when I realised that my motorbike keys were not in my pocket and I had a feeling they may be sticking out of the top box, ripe for the pinching. I arrived back to where my bike was parked and sure enough the keys were gone. By this stage the parking area had filled up and tens of people had parked their bikes near mine and as the parking guy was helping move bikes I asked him if he saw my keys. Initially he ignored me but i just kept at him. After about five minutes of hassling he reached in to his pocket and pulled them out and handed them to me. Just happy that he was honest enough to give them back I tipped him and was on my way again but for a while I was anxious.</font><font color="#202122" face="arial"> </font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#202122" face="arial"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#202122" face="arial"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Ijwe8pegEs/Xwb8AR0XBHI/AAAAAAAAGds/5zupgEHgjJgDfNQtaoUrpGyvV8foFlWpQCK4BGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_1713.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="469" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8Ijwe8pegEs/Xwb8AR0XBHI/AAAAAAAAGds/5zupgEHgjJgDfNQtaoUrpGyvV8foFlWpQCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h469/IMG_1713.jpeg" width="625" /></a></div></font></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;"><font color="#202122" face=""><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></font></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oBIxllqgofU/XwbtYA3G6bI/AAAAAAAAGZU/NZrrtIlV1do7lsNCnTuFllmAlEJ0fg4AgCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6365.jpg" style="background-color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oBIxllqgofU/XwbtYA3G6bI/AAAAAAAAGZU/NZrrtIlV1do7lsNCnTuFllmAlEJ0fg4AgCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6365.jpg" width="625" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yQJyDJ6V4AM/XwbtgE_iA_I/AAAAAAAAGZg/XSXit1PrYAUAbsiQVRyCYIeG0U-5Q-EbwCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6411.jpg" style="background-color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yQJyDJ6V4AM/XwbtgE_iA_I/AAAAAAAAGZg/XSXit1PrYAUAbsiQVRyCYIeG0U-5Q-EbwCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6411.jpg" width="625" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NCw-AG52KSs/Xwbtnl4Z05I/AAAAAAAAGZw/q7KqfNXBSco-rHd8srKTe975oMSCApDUwCK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6445-2.jpg" style="background-color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NCw-AG52KSs/Xwbtnl4Z05I/AAAAAAAAGZw/q7KqfNXBSco-rHd8srKTe975oMSCApDUwCK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6445-2.jpg" width="625" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EgzIhjkLglk/XwbtvKniJ9I/AAAAAAAAGZ8/iw9mExnwwJcTE1YhLOd9qSMBp9LKbuPwACK4BGAsYHg/s1200/6D1A6462.jpg" style="background-color: black; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="416" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EgzIhjkLglk/XwbtvKniJ9I/AAAAAAAAGZ8/iw9mExnwwJcTE1YhLOd9qSMBp9LKbuPwACK4BGAsYHg/w625-h416/6D1A6462.jpg" width="625" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font color="#ffffff" face="arial" style="background-color: black;">From the time I left Hoi An to the time I returned I covered just over 1000 kms.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before I went to New Zealand in 2013, I had never seen a proper mountain range and the view out of the plane window had me contemplating all the places in NZ where people may never have stepped foot. From the air the topography looked like crumpled paper, an irresponsible use of land, mountains standing shoulder to shoulder, rivers snaking between and lots of what looked like untamed forest. Completely different to Australia in every way possible and vastly different to where I have spent the previous years in South East Asia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I imagine that weather plays a huge part in how spectacular NZ can be so I was initially blessed by mild temperatures and clear blue skies but by the time I arrived in Queenstown things had become pretty grim, howling winds, plummeting temperatures and very wet but even then the sun came out occasionally lulling me into a false sense that things were on the improve before turning nasty again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The scenery of New Zealand is awe inspiring and the immensity of some of the terrain seems absurd squashed in to two relatively small islands. From foreboding massive ice covered peaks, crystal clear rivers, fiords that take your breath away, insanely green lakes, bubbling cauldrons of mother earth's pent up energy, waterfalls tumbling over sheer rock or bursting forth from forests make New Zealand an outdoor lovers paradise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But can you just make it warmer please?</span></div>

Arduous, with some tough trails to get up but every moment of the 19 kilometre track is incredible. Passing Mt Ngauruhoe and then up and over the top, looking down on the Tama Lakes, thermal activity causing steam to escape from the earth. The impact of size is astounding, it felt other worldly.</td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12 boats, 40,000 kms around the world. Crewed mainly by paying amateurs sailing from the tropics to the treacherous Southern Ocean. They departed Danang on a cool blustery day but where they are headed is predicted to be minus 10 off Northern China.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #17171a; color: #878c94;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On a journey of 3 days, 1000 kilometres into the Victorian High Country. From a steam train to cattlemen's huts, sweeping views of snow dusted mountains to lush verdant rain forest rent by waterfalls. From perfect blue skies to fog, drizzle and rain the journey was magnificent. Nov 2015</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><b>Markets Near Vung Tau</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just around the bend from the city of Vung Tau the markets along the waters-edge are alive with women sporting a veritable fruit salad of two piece get ups, stained in squid ink and fish guts, splotches of red betel nut juice, scales and vegetable parts, topped off with a pointy hat and bursting forth with some of the best smiles I have seen for a long time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyday they do this, natter amongst bucket loads of tiny fish that look like a pile of scales, small crabs making a clattering dash for somewhere to hide, writhing eels squirming around in buckets, some arching up like cobras, perched on tiny plastic stools the women work hard in a pretty rugged environment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The men, contracted to unload the catch from the fishing boat, waiting patiently in line with their crate dragging hooks ready to drag a load into the market. Guys all standing in-line like it's an audition for some pirate movie. Blokes heaving tonnes of sea-life in to the bellies of waiting trucks. Men with cigarettes dangling from their mouths, the ash falling like a gentle snowflake on to the murdered fish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's pure carnage, the sea doesn't stand a chance, fish have no hope if this is a standard day at the fish market. Bits of other animals abound in a different market, the feet of chickens all yellow and weird reaching out for potential customers, dead ducks, gutted geese and then off to the side, a doorway and from within came an undersea green glow and inside the room not five feet away from Armageddon are a couple of cherubs playing games on an iPad.</span></div>

Saigon has soooo many photo opportunities I wish I had a camera implanted behind my eyes. I never seem to be ready when the pictures present themselves and I’m a long way from being considered a great photographer. As I’m the primary content creator of two travel sites, that’s a little bit of an issue. Thankfully my husband Tim has a decent eye for a pic but he’s not always around to do the honours. Thank god for digital, as I usually just snap away hoping that I’ll get at least a few good ones I can use.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Being new in town there’s also a matter of knowing where and when to get a the best photos. I figured it there would be quite a few of you who would love to find out some great locations, what time to get there as well as how to take the actual pictures. Consequently, I went looking for a Saigon photo tour, for my tours page. My first stop was the guys at <a href="http://www.saigonunseen.com/" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border: 0px; color: #3b8dbd; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Saigon Unseen</a>. Firstly because I’ve been on their <a href="http://hochiminhcityhighlights.com/saigon-unseen" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border: 0px; color: #3b8dbd; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Saigon Unseen">Urban Kaos 1/2 day Moto Tour</a> and it was awesome secondly; one look at Adam’s portfolio at <a href="http://hochiminhcityhighlights.com/%20www.asianimages-adammartin.com" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border: 0px; color: #3b8dbd; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Asian Images – Adam Martin</a> make it pretty damn obvious he knows his way around a camera and street photography.</div>

Adam is one of my favourite photographers based in Ho Chi Minh City. His beautiful pictures seem to draw the subjects into a story without making it look posed. He tells me “his personality really emerges once he has a camera in his hand.” It’s evident from his pictures he has a way of interacting with his subjects that wins them over and keeps things real.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So luckily for those of us who need a bit of help getting that perfect shot in Saigon, Adam is happy to teach us those skills through a unique photography tour, that takes you around the streets of Saigon. He’s chosen a handful of the best GREAT locations around town for taking awesome photos, each allowing the participants to explore a different facet of street photography.

Each different setting has a distinct mood, lighting and subject matter from peaceful and serene to bustling vibrant to dark and atmospheric. He also runs a second tour, <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">DRIVE BY SHOOTING,</span> for more experienced photographers looking for great locations around town.</div>

The day starts at a unique cafe, situated on the edge of of one of Saigon’s most beautiful green spaces. I’ve recommended it as a starting point in my <a href="http://hochiminhcityhighlights.com/walking-around-ho-chi-minh-city" style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease; border: 0px; color: #3b8dbd; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.2s ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Walking Around Ho Chi Minh City – Day 1">walking tour around Ho Chi Minh City</a>. I chose it for the same reasons Adam does. In the early morning, the park is filled with all types of activity from crazy Aerobics sessions through to fan dancing classes. Throw in a temple, several themed gardens and a peaceful haven from the surrounding chaos and it’s the perfect place to discuss your skills levels, knowledge and expectations so Adam can tailor his instruction.</div>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" id="attachment_1616" style="background-color: #f1f1f1; border: 0px; color: #666666; display: inline; float: left; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0.4em 20px 14px 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 5px 9px 9px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; width: 210px;">

As you move through the day, Adam gets into the finer points of photography including how to use light, different perspectives and how to capture that perfect moment. He’s a firm believer that photography, especially street photography, is not about having the best equipment but is instead about being able to tell a story with your picture.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of my concerns was for the locals. How did they feel about having groups of people thrusting cameras in their faces? Remember this tour visits “Saigon Unseen,” not the usual tourist haunts. These folks are not used to having busloads of snap happy tourists wandering through their daily lives. Generally, Adam says people don’t mind at all. He likes to connect with his subjects so that they are drawn into an interaction with him. If one person doesn’t want to get involved there’s usually two or three nearby that want to be centre stage. Provided you included them in the process, are open about what you are doing and show them the pictures afterwards, many of them think it’s a real hoot.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: Lato, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reviews on Trip Advisor give the tour a resounding thumbs up. 5 stars all the way The guys have won certificates of excellence for the past 4 years and that’s not surprising when you see the feedback and read the comments.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">About an hour out of Saigon there is a stretch of mangroves and within that labyrinth the Viet Cong had a base. Humid, wet, hot and mosquito infested and also populated by big toothy lizards and monkeys, monkeys that have no social graces and manners. This place is a "must see" for those that like their crocs behind fences and their monkeys occasionally attacking you.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #17171a; line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ha Giang Province is one of the most spectacular and rugged regions of all of Vietnam. Towering mountains plummet into valleys carved by turquoise rivers. The region is home to a myriad of Vietnam's ethnic minority groups. I was there to visit a series of minority markets that are held once a week in different locations. Some people start walking from their villages at midnight the night before to make it to the market in time, some covering 25 kms over some pretty rugged terrain. But markets are more than just places to buy and sell they are social events and because of this they have a fantastic hustle and bustle. Many of the women are dressed up in all their finery and the men tend to chat, drink corn wine and smoke rough tobacco from bamboo waterpipes with their friends. The clothes worn are changing, as new fabrics are coming from China and people are buying rather than making their own clothes. This has brought in a plethora of synthetics and many women are mixing the new fashion with the old. This makes it much harder to determine what ethnic group people belong to.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #17171a; line-height: 20px;"><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We rode motorbikes from Hanoi about 350 kms on the first day in 39 degree heat. By the time we started winding our way up the hills I was very tired and what I thought were oncoming vehicles, were actually fireflies. We stopped for our first night in Quan Ba also known as Tam Son. These images were all taken on the circuit that loops around from Tam Son, Yen Minh through to the far northern town, near the Chinese border, of Dong Van before circling back around via Meo Vac to Yen Minh again. The scenes photographed are along the journey linking towns, villages, markets and border regions. Some of the markets we went to are: Lung Phin, Pho Cao, Sa Phin and Pho Bang. Whilst in Dong Van we also made a couple of side trips to the most northerly point of Vietnam to Lung Cu where there stands a tower with a huge Vietnamese flag flying above the village below.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saigon is a huge sprawling city and no matter how many places I go to there are always more so the other morning myself and Adam Hurley hit the road with our drivers Sau and Hoa and went looking for some places we haven't been to. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a relatively cool morning we chugged our way through the floating market outside of Can Tho in the Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam. Over the years the market has shrunk in size as more produce is shipped by truck along the highways and across the bridges that now link the jigsaw puzzle that is Cuu Long, The Nine Headed Dragon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly we travelled all the way to Chau Doc tucked up close to the Vietnam Cambodian border, one of my favourite Mekong Delta towns. It's a interesting mix of Viet/Khmer culture where Buddhist share the region with Christians and Muslims</span>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Jeeps and Vespas</b></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently I met a guy who is passionate about ex army jeeps. He invited me to his junkyard/workshop to see how they rebuild them. The amazing thing is most of the parts are in the original wrappers stamped 1970 etc. Then some of his mates arrived in their rejuvenated machines. Some were done up like tarts off to a B & S and others were kept true to their original identities, brought back to life after 40+ years of neglect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then yesterday Vinh arranged for a group of Vespa enthusiasts to pop on by. The guys are planning a trip up north of Nha Trang in couple of weeks. One guy recently rode non stop from Saigon to Hanoi on his Vespa just to prove it could be done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both the jeeps and the Vespas that have been restored back to original really look fantastic. I own a 64 Vespa VBB but a jeep?</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also known as The Hotel De Ville, this beautiful structure harks back to colonial times. Many year ago I tried to access the building by strolling past a guard as if the place was mine. Usually this works quite well but on this occasion I was forced out at gunpoint. But the gun was being held by a soldier in an ill fitting uniform and a hat that was too big. I didn't feel threatened I recall, I felt amused.</span></div>
