Motorcycle tour of Vietnam countryside

Today we went on a Motorcycle tour into the countryside through villages and little dirt track roads. We visited a waterfall and ended up in a fishing village.  
Today you will be treated to few words and many pictures.


Starting out pass buffalo. 


This bridge looked safe?

  3. Great photos, loved them. If you have off road experience, head to North Vietnam and ride high mountain roads on dirt bikes. It's more hilly up here.
