Easy Riders

We'd been told that a motorcycle tour around Dalat into the countryside was a must, but the day was a genuine thrill from the beginning. Even being on a bike weaving through Vietnamese traffic was an experience, but our guides took us not only to the famous pagoda and waterfall, but also to a several places off the beaten track. For example the local silk factory where we were shown how they harvest silk from the worms, then produce the garments. Or the town where some of the nomadic people of Vietnam have settled, where you can see how they farm and live. The experience was so good that we arranged to travel to Hoi An via the Central Highlands on a motorbike over 5 days - 2 days in and seen some incredible things so far. Will try and do them justice next time, but have posted some pics from the first day below.
