Our Favorites – Vietnam Edition

We’re still on our Annapurna trek in Nepal, which is a little too off the beaten track to access the internet. While we’re busy trekking and are off-line, we’ve put together some of our past favorite posts/locations to keep you busy.

Enjoy!

Vietnam:

Martin had never been to Vietnam but I’d been one time before. A week after I met him in 2004 (en route from Bangkok to Cambodia) I tried to convince him to join me on my two week tour of Vietnam. He foolishly refused, though it wasn’t a deal breaker, obviously.

As payback I took him to every place I’d been on the two week tour that he forced me to do without him. Come to think of it, it wasn’t much of a punishment as I was seeing everything a second time while he was enjoying all new experiences.

Hm. Hindsight is truly 20-20.

Anyway, we spent a month in Vietnam touring northward from Saigon, through the central highlands, and into the northern mountains around Sapa. The country is staggeringly long. It was a rushed trip, but  filled with beauty and one really great trek.

Check out the best that Vietnam offered us by clicking the photos below:
