NorthWest Vietnam RoadTrip By Minsk (2006)

[FB666Y]

The ride from Sapa to Hanoi through Yen Bai was pretty uneventful. It was cold and wet mostly. Good thing I had my rain gear with me. By the time I got back to Hanoi I was pretty much splattered my mud all over.

 

Here's a gas station youll find in all the small villages in Vietnam (and Thailand) as well:

these are honda cub kias..... 125cc bikes with modified racks at the rear & side to secure your baggages. Cuong rents them for US$10 per day as oppose to the Russian Minsk for US$6 per day.

I read somewhere that Minsk is now 8$US/day but uses like 5-6l for every 100km. Honda bikes cost more but if you ride about 200km/day, total cost is cheaper and of course a Honda is better than a Minsk.
