This Is Why You NEED To Travel Vietnam By Motorbike... | Ep. 7
Vietnam by motorbike a journey that has no structure apart from reaching the capital of Vietnam in just three weeks time and hopefully in one piece last episode you saw our toughest stretch of this trip yet pushing ourselves to the Limit after being caught in very unpleasant conditions today's episode shows how quickly that can change as we push further up north in the most beautiful weather we reach a Seaside town that has seen better days before enduring up an ultimate ride on a hectic Highway we visit a very popular yet outstanding Viewpoint that proves to us that the way that we travel through this country was the best decision we could have made good morning we've woken up to a beautiful sunrise and also the sun is completely shining it's not blue sky there's not a cloud in the sky today I can't believe how much like 24 hours difference makes which is partly sad because the drive yesterday would have been so nice if it was like this but I think what we're going to go through today is going to be just as nice there's a route the highway that we're on yesterday to get here you could take that the whole way which will take about four hours or there's a Inland route that will take four and a half hours which I think is what we're gonna do because I I don't want to be on a straight road for four hours it'll be so boring we've got the last of our the lust of our wet clothes on the side just dry enough and hopefully this will be the last time and then when we get to Hanoi we'll be able to hand them over and get them they're so bad yeah the whole of our bag just smells of damp all of our cloves are filthy like I don't think we've been clean for the past four weeks yeah even when you um shower you put your stinky clothes back on but I wouldn't change anything so far it's been really really good yeah it's all about the adventure and I'm excited for today's adventure yeah this is the last thing now so we've got to make the most of it thank you today's ride was something that we didn't expect to happen after yesterday's dramas we thought the picturesque writing was over for us but as always Vietnam poses its beauty in the most unspecified manner to say we're in good spirits is a massive understatement foreign we've just stopped over for a photo shoot because this road is just incredible just a straight line with these Martins around it absolutely incredible we're only we're only like 50 minutes down the road and I don't want it to end already I'm actually getting a little bit sad that like this Journey's coming to an end today I'm thinking about driving slower just so it lasts longer I was thinking the exact same thing on the bike I was thinking gosh am I going to be emotional when this is all that I know I was getting inside then when that's all the time going down fast I was thinking like this is going to be sad when it's over then flush flashback to this time yesterday I know yeah I'll quickly changes but this this road so far is beautiful there's no one on air it's just right now yeah you can't hit anything there's just some water buffaloes over there raising away underneath that mountain it's spectacular yeah this is and the weather just feels so like crisp and fresh I just look at that road behind you of the bike and the sun is shining um that is amazing oh thank you foreign I've just been able to find a little pollen spot and we've been great with this really good view which is what we're after and Mitch is now gonna try and get the really tight knot out of the band me and I think we're gonna stop here and eat them but this that ride is just going so quickly there's so much to look at the sun on your face when you're riding is something completely different like it's such a good experience I'm blocking all the wind for you as well but it's perfect yeah it is the wind chill is still a little bit there but it's a it's durable yeah it's not the warmest still we're still laid up but with the sun on you it's it's really nice and it's just still not a cloud in the sky so now we've got some soggy ban me in this view um good no it tastes like a kebab oh nice I think this might be one of our last stops before we get to Vin we have got about an hour and a half so unless something completely wowzers I think we'll just be cruising along it's been really nice isn't it driving yeah this area is like it's still really rural isn't it but I think this is where a lot of people must work because of how much Farmland there is around but it's just for miles and miles there's just parties and like this is the first time we've seen sweet corn and now there's just fields and Fields of sweet corn it's it's really set up for that and it's given me like French Vibes too because there is like how many churches one there we've just gone past one as we turned so one two three four five would you say this one in the same one or four well anyway there is so many churches around the area and they're all very French inspired it looks like it does yeah yeah there's a bit more traffic on this road again now a lot more trucks and buses that are trying to kill you odds to the phone to break up the journey tin and Ben we booked a hotel in a Beach town called Lao a place we expected to be full of people and Beachside restaurants but as you will see it turned out to be quite the opposite foreign for so long today like four and a half hours but I think it's even longer than that from the fact that we've stopped quite a few times but we've made it to a place called I think qlo I don't know it's in it's just up from bin like very close it's just actually by the sea but this place is like derelict don't think it's a very usual tourist spot but it's the only way we can break up the eight hour drive is by staying here so it's four hours tomorrow we've done well it's been a really really really really really nice ride I've enjoyed it so much kind of stuff that it's over but my bum definitely needs a rest well we're staying in a bit of a [ __ ] it's not what we expected after such a lovely ride and drive today but yeah I I don't know it's I think it's the last place that we're gonna stay in that's bad though the tomorrow we're going to be in nimbing and then I think we might stay there for two days but then the day after when we get to Hanoi we should hopefully be booking some nicer places so yeah just gotta suck it up for one last night it doesn't even look that bad on the camera I wish you could smell it yeah I mean the mold on the back of the uh curtain sort of shows it I don't think we're gonna get Heating or the stain oh yeah on the sheet or the color of the walls I don't understand how a wall dirty I know like what would you be doing for a wall to get that dirty at least we've got complimentary soap and shampoo yeah and nothing will ever be as bad as our Bangkok I know yeah we got set off right didn't we yeah if we did yeah I feel like oh no we should have been eased in but no after that breakdown I'm set up for anything now this will do and also it is it is Bittersweet as this will be probably the last hopefully last place that we stayed at rough rough because we'll be in tourist territory enjoying yourself there I really didn't think it would be somebody's an artist again some bathing in how many layers I forgot on four layers this is nice with the sword because of the buildings around there's nowhere neither so it's like it feels like it's like mid-20s it's actually like 17 degrees we've just come and found a coffee shop just from where our hotel is and we've got ourselves a hot axial I think that's how you say it badly I think it I don't know um yeah it's a hot Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and normal milk mixed together within a shot so it's very good very sweet and some water and we're just soaking up the Sun and trying to scope out anywhere that we can get some food in a little bit we've just asked the lady here and she's recommended a couple of places but I think that's all we're going to be doing having that like crash after being on the bike kind of just go a bit tired I don't know why it makes you so tough yeah I feel knuckled I could understand why it makes you tired yesterday the cold made me really tired I think my body just burnt loads of energy from like shivering would have been freezing yeah I feel I even feel knackered today yeah I need to do some proper exercise again yeah we need to get back on the exercise game and tell you that yeah but only a few days left with this so you may as well enjoy whatever feeling it is because we're gonna get this again I'm gonna miss it staying in [ __ ] holes every day cold and having a sore ass no I actually will miss it well having a walk around to try and find some food we couldn't believe how run down and quiet this place was we didn't know if it was due to the pandemic the time of the year or that the place had just lost popularity either way it was Eerie walking through a town that felt like it was once on a set of an apocalyptic movie well what a great start to the morning we've got the sun shining there's blue sky and we've just come to our local first place for breakfast and it was like the Vietnamese version of an English cuff it was great everyone was in there we just had two beef faux Furs for for 50 000 each and it was probably one of the best that we've had the best you sent me the best yeah yeah we've had one really good bumbao and then that was a fobal and it was really good so now we're ready for and ready to go pack up the bags and hit the road and enjoy this our final four hour ride of the trip it's going to be a pretty straight road today but just gotta get there because nimbin's gonna be absolutely gorgeous so yeah that's what's waiting for us at the other side exactly yeah all right just casually using a really random Contraption some guys if you got him again yeah it's like a little motor with a winch on it that's just spalling off the wire pulling the wheelbarrow up so he just sits there all day nice to get sick I'll tell you what things are much easier without half and so you do second class how'd you feel it is yeah I'm sorry to come into it and we've got an Airfield each to listen to a podcast as we ride but the sun's out I'm that's all I need yeah for four hours 190 kilometers and I don't think there's gonna be one bend the whole way yeah oh we're getting there at about one yeah right let's get cracking chaos got over three hours a day I could hurt you man no one on the bike's blocks see if there's anything around them and then the horses just are the main people on the road I've never heard that Jesus horned so much like 45 minutes but we've been on the bike so far it's probably a longer Drive than I thought this Road's brutal it's just non-stop like people trying to kill you like you get used to it after a while but it's just so draining talk you're fighting for your life the whole way aren't you uh two hours left I think I'm just gonna have a party to eat now and then try and get the rest of it done because it's not enjoyable is it I'm ready to look at either uh it's very much just a good look at anything even anyway because you've got to be concentrating on the road like 100 yeah well 110 like yeah do you need to be thinking of things 10 15 seconds before they even happened it's crazy out there we can't believe that this is the penultimate ride before we reach our final destination in Hanoi the time is absolutely flown by and as the next episode will be our last of our trip through Vietnam we thought it would be good to answer any questions that you guys may have if you do have any please leave us a comment on this video and we will answer as many as we can in our final episode also a quick reminder that if you have enjoyed our videos a like and a comment goes a long way and also please subscribe so you can see what our next adventure will be we've put ourselves in a massive Rush as we've just realized that today's the last day of this Clear Blue Sunshine and as I was sat here on a little patio and Mitch was taking a nap I just checked the weather realized that and also realized that we wanted to go to an amazing Viewpoint and today is going to be the best day for it and we've only got about an hour left until the sun sets and it takes 15 minutes to get there and between 30 to 45 minutes to walk up there so if you ever think that we're really planned and organized we're not so now we're just rushing and stressing trying to get there in time again after the day that we've had on it but is there any gonna get like taking the chances of trying to get there in time this is the one thing that I wanted to do that we did last time but didn't get a good day for it and was determined to do again whilst we're here praying and hoping so we can get on there and get a good view and show you guys how amazing it is up there we've got here in record time parked at the closest one to where we walk now we've got to pay to get in that was 15 000 to park and then I think it's a hundred thousand to get up here each each yeah expensive things that we've done oh my God it's miles up there it is yeah it's it's going to be a big walk and I'm hoping to do it in less than the 30 to 45 minutes as well so we've got to get a move on poor Mitch still looks like he's like literally looks half asleep he's all puffy faced but I'm not missing out on this all right let's get in people pottering everywhere but Mark's on a mission yeah I need to get up there everybody said we are doing this in quicker than they always say I'm determined to learn at least I'm gonna take 20 minutes it looks it's so steep though yeah I know it's gonna be worse for me coming down than up so I couldn't you won't have time to think about it no I was asleep 20 minutes ago and I'm blowing up my ass this is tough oh my God if I can do it started off too strong like guys on Facebook it's gone live on Facebook because he's coming up the stairs oh it's so busy I'm ready I'm fat I said yesterday I wanted some exercise climbed you about five minutes this place is absolutely breathtaking it's just as good as when we came out last time aside from last time I'd obviously forgotten how many people do actually come up and we haven't been able to even able to get like a good spot to see it um to get a photo anyway but the views all like 360 round if you're not looking at the mountains that way then you're looking over the rest of can talk that way so it really is very nice and we got here just in time golden hour is still happening which makes me very happy and now Mitch is just perched on the ledge wow I could have got that yeah it's just a crazy amount of people this is at the highest Viewpoint there is one just below us which is a little bit lower down and that's just as packed as well so everyone had the same idea as us but it's better than coming up tomorrow I think in the cloud I'm glad that we've been able to see it with the sun setting and the blue skies it's just absolutely amazing I love when you're at the same height as the the birds fly into pretty cool there's too many people I don't feel right getting the journal and there's as many people about one like it could hurt someone and two it's just like I think it's rude not everyone wants to enjoy the sunset and everyone will just hear a drone flying over that's not fair so it's a short and sweet visit up here I think it's like someone's died well I think it's one of them things where like I mean I've never had a child but when people say that they forget about childbirth after it's happened that's what I feel like with this moment last time we came I've only got the photos to look back on not the sheer amount of people and also the length it takes to get up here and a quad to shaking and it cost us 215 000 and it cost us 250 000 which would yeah we could have had a curry for that tonight but then I'd like Got My Mind Set On And we haven't really spent much on um attractions this time yeah because we've been seeing views like this for free the whole time yeah I know it just makes me more grateful about the experience that we've had this trip on the bike yeah it's been worth it this has taught me that lesson for sure all right now let's talk all the stairs down yeah we're gonna have to go slow a Bittersweet end to our last spectacular view in Vietnam remember to subscribe so you don't miss out on our final episode of the series and remember to leave a comment if you have any questions about us or the trip that you'd like us to answer thank you so much for watching we will see you next time
