Back from Vietnam on Sunday, & come down with some horrendous illness which I suspect I caught on the flight. A bit frustrating as the weather is actually lovely in Leeds at the moment - sunny, warm & not windy for a change.
In synopsis, the country was absolutely amazing - scenery unbelievable, roads super smooth, gravel unexpected, heat intolerable, bugs non-existent, food questionable.
I'll do a full writeup soon as I think that'd be really handy to have that in the public sphere - information on the country for bike touring (outside the Ho Chi Minh trail) was hard to find when planning. Our original route up to Ma Pi Leng pass was roughly adhered to, but we expected a dynamic plan & things changed on the ground.

For now, some photos.
