I left Cydney and Justin to return to Hanoi. The reason I returned was simple: I was to pursue an adventure that I was told would change my life. Tim, in Saigon, more than a month ago, told me about a motorcycle trek through the north of Vietnam.
After departing for Cat Ba Island I met with Dien at Footprint Travel and tried to set up a trip north but the days were "ify" and unfortunately for me there were no guides able or willing to accompany me on this trip. So I decided to leave for Cat Ba.
Now that that is behind me (although I wish I could remain there for much longer) I got back into touch with Dien and he surprised me with news that I had a guide and that if I wanted to leave tomorrow morning I could. So I took a couple buses back to Hanoi and will rest up for my trip which begins tomorrow. I won't be able to update this blog anytime in between my travels.
I will be gone for six days. Traversing the north eastern providences of Vietnam,flirting with the Chinese border all the while. I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck--my first time on a real motorcycle: a Russian Minsk--the only way to explore Vietnam, I was told by Mai in Cat Ba.
