While waiting for the customs broker/customs officials to do their homework, we decided to take a 4 days trip in the Northern mountains. We rented a 125cc Yamaha YBR for 25USD/day. Great motorcycle. Reminds me a lot of my first car, a 34 hrosepower Oltcit!

Driving/riding on the Vietnamese roads is an adventure itself. Anything can be on the road: potholes, dirt, debris, trucks on the wrong side of the road, animals, crops drying in the sun etc. Specatacular views, nevertheless, and very friendly people. By tomorrow we should be in a national park, and then catch a train back to Hanoi.
