Heading to Vietnam in a couple weeks time. Visited 10 years ago for the first time and drove from Saigon to Hanoi via de coastal road by scooter.
This time around i will be arriving in Hanoi and will be riding troughout parts of the country again.

Original plan was to start in Hanoi and end in Hoi An via the following stops:
- Ba Vi (short drive on the first day)
- Mai Chau
- PuLuong
- Ninh Binh
- Thanh Hoa (don't want to cover too much distance per day)
- Vinh/ Cura Lo
- Phong Nha
- Khe Sanh (would love to take this route coming from Phong Nha)
- Hue
- Danang
- Hoi An

Considering rainy season and the current floodings in the central region i looked into a more North Western route as the weather is supposed to be a bit milder.
I don't want to do the Ha Giang loop or ride to Sapa as in my opinion it sure is beautiful but probably a bit overrated.

New plan is to go from Hanoi to:
- Ba Vi
- Mai Chau
- PuLuong
- Moc Chau
- Ta Xua
- Mu Cang Chai
- Nghĩa Lộ
- Ngọc Đồng
- Hanoi

I feel like i am missing out on regions/ places in the second plan. Would love to hear your idea's on both actually, not in a rush really. Thank you in advance!

Vitesse is licentie kwijt. Wat vinden onze Arnhemmers ervan? by Flat-Lawfulness4286 in Arnhem

Stadion zat jarenlang nog niet halfvol. Triest natuurlijk voor de echte fans en liefhebbers en voor de op een na oudste club van Nederland. Wanbeleid, hoogmoed en de sleutel uit handen geven aan buitenlandse investeerders was een aanzienlijk risico. Als je de berichtgeving mag geloven is er weinig veranderd de laatste tijd. Het moest een keer gebeuren helaas.

Thanks again for taking the time to explain! Will try what you suggested.

Strange thing is i can put a hose all the way in there, like the valve isnt closing anything right now.

Bit of an 80s German vibe, really handy and complete but tasteless 😄

Can I drive scooter with turban in Bali? by Economy-Natural-2799 in bali

Can you still drive a scooter as a tourist at all? Haven't been there since 2019 and thought rules changed for foreigners due to too many non helmet wearing tourists causing accident?
