Motorcycle diaries - Vietnam East coast

We left Saigon and continued towards Hanoi along the coast line on the road AH1. Landscapes at the beginning were quite boring, and traffic was really mad. I think we survive only due to excellent driving skills and reactions of Ilkka. Why so many Finns are such good drivers? :)


We reached city of Phan Rang by night, and the last 2 hours of our ride were really scarry. Ilkka got a wound on his finger responsible for pressing the break. And our bike got a wound on a place responsible for a clutch :)

In Phan Rang we got a room in the city's only hotel, and went to eat in a local street food court. People were very friendly, but we anyway felt ourselvs like two aliens :)

Today we drove until small coast city of Quy Nhon. Landscapes have changed, and now they are incredibly beautiful. Azure blue sea, colourful fishermen's boats, mountains in all shades of grey and brown and endless rice fields... Scenery changes after every turn of the curly mountain road. It's wonderful!
