motorcycles diaries 2

a zero confidence vote from our guide rendered me injury free today. pillion rider boh with a tired out right arm. on form lim rode all the way and Hisako, our new found travel buddy from Japan had a stunning fall which i thought for a split second would break her arm. after which we abandoned the third bike and rode 3 people squahed on one bike.the terrain: waterlogged mountainous trail, rocks, gravel,sand, mud, and sometimes, a stream. surreal moments where we couldn't get back to the town before sunset, due to road works ( they were blasting the mountain.) another amazing day in vietnam. i'm glad we are alive. onward!
