Travels and Adventures of an Ent on a Motorcycle
Once across the border into Vietnam I very quickly changed my mind and my plan. For some reason I'd planned to go North, back toward Hue and Hoi An where me and Charlee had visited 2 months before. They were nice places and I wanted to see them again. I sat watching the mechanics change … Continue reading Day 271 to 281 – South Vietnam
After the 8 days of "normal life" in an apartment in Hanoi, getting back on the road took some getting used to.

My job for the next … Continue reading Day 206 to 217 – Ho Chi Minh to Hue – Charlee’s Adventures Part 1
Finally leaving Pokhara had a little bit of meaning to it, in total I'd been here nearly 2 weeks split over 3 stays. I really liked the place, despite all the tourism and everything that goes with it. I crossed the border back into India the next day, after a night in what was essentially … Continue reading Day 196 to 205 – Pokhara to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
