We decided that it was time to hop on a bike again even though its illegal for us foreigners to do so. But for someone who wants to experience something special and amazing must sometimes bend the rules a little. I mean, vietnam is corrupt as hell as I'll write later. A Few dollars get you far in this part of the world.
We searched online for a reliable motorbike rental which also had a shop in the next city, Hoi An, so we would't have to drive twice. Tripadviser being quite usefull as always set us up with a nice shop, which even gives free knee and elbow protection with the rental. Instantly this shop was favored by Nina. Yet, first I had to show that I could drive! Also a first timer in Asia. Normally they are like "here is the bike, bye". With a guy from the shop on the back I drove around Hue trough the masses like i don't know any better. On the way the guy asked were I learned to drive as I drive like an Asian. It's ofcourse a compliment but I wonder if ill ever be able to drive in Europe again. Apparently I'm cut from the same wood.
The pass was amazing. Loads of bends next to the ocean with amazing views. No trucks since these all go through the tunnel. It's there only for the people willing to drive, needless to say in the low season we are traveling in that we merely had the road to our selves. I wished I could show pictures but sadly..... Our laptop broke with water damage. So for the last 3 posts and this one there wont be many pictures unless we took a few with our phones! I took the liberty of taking one from the internet, a picture says so much more. It's amazing! In imagine the picture shown below and then think it is only a small part of the whole Mountain pass.
