Biking in Vietnam
Hey,
I have motorbiked in the North of Vietnam. When visited the country, I had only a short amount of time, and I took about five days to rent a bike in Hanoi and take it to Dien Bien Phu and then to Sapa, where I put it on the train to head back down to Hanoi. I had read that this probably the most amazing thing you can do in Vietnam, and it was even beyond my expectations.
The roads are very new, some were under construction still while I was there, but there were very few vehicles, which made for utterly fantastic riding, and great, varied and interesting landscapes. I would highly reccomend that you do something along this route.
Apparently the riding in Northern Laos is great too. The border crossing there, near Dien Bien Phu, is quite tetchy sometimes, so check if it is open and working properly before you go.
Best,
Bigmonts
