Vietnam, 12. March 2025
Day 2 of the loop! Got up for some brekkie and then checked out around 9am ready to get on the bikes and get going. First stop was a coffee point with a view. A weird place with lots of child labour and begging. We were told not to give them any money bcos it would encourage them further
An example of some of the kids walking around with babies on their back. There was also a man with a horse which he continuously brushed and it seemed to impress lots of the Vietnamese. I haven’t seen any horses out here so far so it seemed very out of place
Next stop was a viewpoint. Again, another child begging for money by playing the flute
Cute pics were taken here. This is Ethan and Jake from our group. Ethan is 18 from Oxford and Jake is 29 from Liverpool
Our drivers in Group 4❤️. The majority of our group are driving themselves so we only have 5 easy riders and our leader, Kai but they’re so cool and so much fun
In the early 1900s this was the palace of a king in a tiny village in Ha Giang. You can now visit it and go inside
Our leader Kai❤️
My man Minh
We climbed to the top of this tower which was hard work but the views were worth it

Me and my driver before heading off to the next stop
Lunch time - always the same food but I love it
Skywalk! We walked all the way along this, around 3k. Again lots of begging along the way. Children on their own carrying babies and asking for money for food. It’s really sad to see it but you can tell it is rehearsed and they do it every day as if it were a job
Dinner Buffet in the new homestay
The boys and the riders played a view games of pool and then there was a disco on. Had a little dance but our curfew is at 11pm everywhere we stay so some boys from a different group hosted a dorm party
The dorm party. So funny, the reception man kept coming in and we were turn the music off and get under the beds and hide 😭😂. An experience, felt like we were at school for god sake
