We went to the hospital to make sure nothing was broken and when we got the good news we soon started dreaming about the next step. We have expressed to each other that we need a break from the bike but we do not want to let go of the slow way of travelling. Soon …
We had a great day at Angkor Wat and are now on the road towards Thailand. It will be one long road that we have to follow towards Thailand. After the border we will be able to cycle on smaller country roads again. We are not the biggest fans of this kind of big roads. …
After a week of luxury, it’s time to leave Phnom Phen behind. Thank you so much Grant and Shelly! After we have cycled out of the city it will take a while before we are out of civilization. We actually cycle 50 km on a road that seems to never end, but eventually we turn …
It has been more than two weeks that we travelled in a different way. We enjoyed the places we visited and the delicious food in the cities, but we are now very excited to get back on our bikes. Last night we stayed in a cheap hotel in Ho Chi Minh City or as the …
It’s been over two weeks since I burned myself. The wounds are healing super well and I tried to cycle a bit in between. I am very proud of my body. We took a total of three buses to travel around the country and rented a scooter in between to have more freedom and to …
We have to temporarily fill in our trip differently. It only really gets through to us when we visit a temple in Hanoi where groups of tourists go in, shoot a few photos and continue to the next stop. We always say that we are travelers and not tourists, but now we suddenly feel like a tourist …
Traveling by bicycle brings us so much. Besides discovering different cultures, feeling freedom and simply enjoying travelling, a lot is also happening inside. Sometimes you just don’t feel like cycling or having to face another mountain. Sometimes you don’t want contact with others while there is a group of people who want to invite you …
We cycle towards the border of Vietnam. We’ve only been to Laos for a short time and part of that time we’ve been sick so it’s hard to get to grips on this country but we’ve enjoyed the short time we’ve been here. The people of Laos live close to nature. They work hard but meanwhile …
Last blog ended at the ‘UXO Lao visitor center’. That morning while we were packing our things I noticed I wasn’t feeling very well and Q had a stomach ache. We briefly commented that it might be smart to stay, but we quickly waved that away. We’ve stayed in one place long enough. So when …
We have crossed the border into Laos and cycle to Houayxay where we will take the two day slow boat to Luang Prabang with a stopover in Pakbeng. It’s nice to experience a country from a different side. We sail on the Mekong River and it is beautiful. The nature around it, the large boulders …
