After saying good-bye to my travel companions it was also time for me to get ready to start the ride to the beginning of the whole journey – Cao Bang. The plan was doing an overnight stop on the way, staying another night in Cao Bang itself, and then take the bus to Hanoi. By now even I don’t even believe in any of my plans!!!

After my lovely stay in Meo Vac it was time to get back on the road, and start doing a loop I was hoping to do for a while – the Ha Giang Loop. Except of not starting it in Ha Giang town, but in Meo Vac.

After a enjoyable 4 ride through the Central Highlands we arrived in Kon Tum. Finally. Kon Tum was always on my itinerary, but after changing my mind about Cambodia I didn’t head here before New Year. Overall, it was not a bad thing as the weather now was lovely.

After the lovely stay in Dalat it was time to leave. I have heard a lot about the scenery around the Central Highlands – what better way to really experience it than travelling on two wheels.

After a lovely stay in Tra Vinh it was time for my next trip on back of a scooter. I booked with Mr Phat, the owner of the Duy Tong hotel. It was slightly more expensive than what I paid for Ninh Binh, and for the $170 I was driven from Tra Vinh to Can Tho via Soc Trang.
