Currently cycling south in Vietnam. Started in Hanoi but took train to Dong Ha to miss out busy roads. Will head down the coast to somewhere past Da Nang then over the central highlands and cross the border into Cambodia. Or go to Saigon and then cross border at Bavet, depends on visa situation and which borders are currently open for visa on arrival. So far it’s been hot and very wet. Food has been amazing but out in the countryside it’s been very much a case of eat whatever you’re given, lots of noodle soups with offal and bones! Have tried to ask for vegetarian food but it’s been tricky. Beer is super cheap at around 30p a bottle/glass, great for thirsty cyclists. Hotels cheap - average is £10 a night for a nice double room with en suite.
