Decidedly sick of buses, we find ourselves winding through the beautiful mountainside on the back of motorbikes with two local guys we met over coffee…

It was such a great way to travel, we sat back and took in the gorgeous scenery while Lee and Khoung (our drivers) maneuvered through the roads, stopping when we reached a picturesque waterfall for a swim or a cool side-street cafe for a well earned snack. 

One night we stayed in a local village long house and when we woke up the next morning, an elephant walked passed our window - very cool.  The guys took us to some great local eateries and although it rained a lot towards to top of the mountains, it was a fab trip. 

We reached Hoi-An 5 days later.  Now it was time to relax and stay in a luxurious hotel while we waited for our made-to-measure clothes from the local tailor.
