Vietnam 2026 - South to North
The heat and the smog from bushfires and burning took their toll 2 days north of Hanoi. After a particularly tough day of 37 degrees, steep hills and headwind, I decided not to tackle the northern route I had planned by bike. I am now in Dong Van, where I took a bus from a shitty little town that cracked me. I have developed a sore throat again and have lost my mojo for cycletouring up here. So I am going to relax, rent a scooter to see the sights around here, take a bus to Coa Bang and then bus back to Hanoi. This trip has been intense, amazing, beautiful, brutal and ugly. My love of cycletouring, at the age of 61, is just as strong, but it's over for this trip.

What an amazing experience! Good luck on your ride, and I hope the rain stops soon.
