To finish up our tour of Southeast Asia, we spent a few weeks cycling in Central Vietnam. We experienced lots of highs and lows in Vietnam, going from fantastic cycling roads along the coast to intense and unpredictable traffic in the cities. We spent some time off the bikes in Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An before boxing our bikes and flying to South Korea.
Time Frame: Late February 2023
Cycling Days: 10
