To the coast and back

On H2H’s fourth day, a 68km ride from Quan Lao to Tinh Gia, the sunny heat of the previous three days was replaced by dense overcast. Much of the leg would be spent on National Highway 1, which stretches the length of the country and is notoriously dangerous. I wasn’t looking forward to the hurtling, honking trucks and buses that populate the road, but at least the surface would be in mostly good condition.

Brush with rich and famous

I have always had a dream. I stroll out of the airport terminal immaculately attired to see a smiling local man with a cardboard sign sporting my name. He whisks me off in a private car with my own private driver to an exotic villa overlooking the beautiful blue sea with a beautiful lady on my arm feeling a tad like James Bond with whisky instead of martini.
