Hiiii Everyone

We have done a lot of Driving since Hue (for the last 3 days) there haven't been to many things to do in each of the places we stopped except sleep and eat. We stopped at Dong Hoi, Vinh and lastly Ninh Binh. Dong Hoi and Vinh were very strange, obviously they are not the most touristy places but they all wanted to say Hi to us and were really overly interested in us. One guy was so interested he followed us to the atm and watched us, so we left and got money from another one. The locals couldn't talk any English, so we just ate stayed in the Hostels and drove. The bike broke down on our way towards Ninh Binh, but luckily we stopped right next to a Hon Da (which is a mechanic) it was only the spark plug though, it only cost $1 to fix. They serviced the rest of the bike as well for only another dollar.

We are now in Ninh Binh, in a really nice hostel. It is only 90km away from Hanoi, so not far to go now. There are lots of foreigners here so we feel safe and comfortable.

We have done a few trips, one to Tam Coc caves which is a boat tour along a river, in the middle of mountains, there are rice paddies on the river. That was fun and the views were amazing. We had two woman rowing us for over an hour, it only cost $3. We also climbed one about 1000 stairs to the top of one of the mountains to see where we had been on the boat tour. The pictures will be uploaded soon.

Tomorrow we are off to Hanoi, and will hopefully sell the motorbike quickly. Then head to Ha Long Bay.

Hope everyone is well J
