Laut, Hektisch, Dreckig, Rasant – Hanoi
... Brücke des Roten Flusses und ein Stück entlang der Eisenbahnstrecke. Diese verläuft DURCH enge Gassen, rechts und links nur wenige Zentimeter zu den Mauern und offenen Räumen der Wohnhäuser - was jedoch natürlich nicht heißt, dass dort nicht auch noch Fußgänger und Motorräder fahren. Es ist schon ein bisschen verrückt in Hanoi…
Nach dem anstrengenden durch die Stadt ...

I had two separate groups of people today approach me and asked ...
Het wilde leven van Sabah
... wat daar nog over was, leven. Na een hobbelige, 2,5 uur durende rit (met als uitzicht alleen maar palmplantages, treurig) werden we afgezet bij de B&B waar we die nacht zouden verblijven. Dezelfde dag zouden we twee tochten over de rivier maken, een 's middags en een 's avonds. Het was echt prachtig. We hebben heel veel apen en vogels gespot, maar ook het gevoel om in zo'n klein bootje op zo'n enorme rivier te zitten, met aan weerszijde regenwoud, maak ...
