Current mood: Im in Nam what do you think?? im chuffed!! Well well well.......... im at last after a year of waiting...... in Vietnam!! The border crossing was simple enough ( a few check points on either side of the bridge but no worries). The delight to the beginning of this trip across the border was the Bridge that seperates the two countries!!! It is packed with people simply fluttering across from both nations loaded with all sorts of goodies that i presume will be sold to either side as trade and so forth! The quantity of goods being dragged across [View Full Entry]

Current mood: mind blown The morning arrives and we are still unsure of our days plans. So with no further adoo and a squat attempt in the woods we i saddle up and head out with the guys towards an unknown destination! The day turned out to be surreal and up there with the Great Wall. Riding for around 2-3 hours we pass through various set ups that i would think rersemble parts of the wild wild west! i didnt get to snap happy as my now very favoured friend (Ashley, love her dearly) who is an accomplished rider and has [View Full Entry]
