Trip Rec: Motorcycles in Nam

Here’s a killer travel idea. Part Apocalypse Now, part
Motorcycle Diaries, this trip is done by motorcycle down the Ho Chi Minh trail from Hanoi to Saigon on Russian made
Minsk motorcycles. The cycles are the backbone of the
country, everyone rides them.

While cycling, you will visit everything from Ho Chi Minh’s birthplace to the Chinese fishing town of Hoi An, to the
hill retreat of Dalat. A pretty thorough and bona fide Vietnam experience. You ride along the highway, along dirt
roads, through small towns where you stop and have the best Phu you’ve likely ever eaten. I would do this one in a
heartbeat.
