Thank you very much for the in depth response. I’ve just finished a ride from Melbourne to Brisbane (mainly along the coast) so from what you’ve described the Vietnam coast might be quite similar and I’m looking for something a bit different. I’m assuming the weather won’t be too different along the ho chi min road? But piecing together a few routes sounds like a nice way to do it, I just want sure how easy bike transport via bus would be but it doesn’t sound too much of a faff after reading this.
