What a different day today would be. Setting off later than I intended I rode into Plueki stopping at a great little coffee shop. Coffee and an orange juice. I’d forgotten the need to eat. Soon the big town gave way to straight single carriageway through a constant stream of tatty shops synonymous with Vietnam. Past them the roads were heaven. I had one stop booked and that was a dam, shown as a tourist spot.

Back on the road and Lilly purred contentedly for mile after mile of gorgeous twisty roads. Some of it recently paved. It was just heaven and I knew I was in my happy place. Flowing corners, sunny weather and 12horse power of motorcycle.
I found a steep path and decided it was time to offroad. I was a bit doubtful as it was very steep.





It was a late night!
