Buon Ma Thuot Hotels - Reviews and Rates

This morning we woke up to a lovely sunny day. We packed up the bikes and set of to a local village. The village was one of the 52 ethnic minorities in Vietnam and these happen to live in whats called a long house (yes because it is very long) We wandered around the village for a while and even saw some tourists riding elephants thru the village...

This morning the lads strapped our backpacks to the bike and we set off to the hills of Vietnam. It was awesome. We stopped of at mushroom farms, local villages, ate local food.. It was such a cool day. It started to rain for about 10mins so the lads just pulled over at someones house (a hut) and we went inside, sat down and had some fruit we ha...

Having had a taste of beach life we decided to head up into the central highlands and the coffee capital of Vietnam. The highlands of Vietnam are not as high as you might expect and plateau after a while so it feels flat again. Buon Ma Thout was a surprisingly large and cosmopolitan town, we just stayed one night and found a roll your own rice p...

Renowned for its cool climate (hmmm), mountain scenery, streams and waterfalls. The journey inland was in a transit van / race car which was fairly worrying at times but some good views all the same! Also on the road were...

Up and our easy rider Mr Hai was in reception waiting for us, attached our backpacks to the back of the bikes so we could use them as back rests.

The coast roads out of Nha Trang were amazing, we stopped a local fishing dock and saw all kinds of very strange...

Short entry as Buon Ma Thuot, the highland town I was visiting, was closed! Yes, literally, the entire town was closed when I arrived. There were no buses elsewhere, no convenience stores open, and no restaurants either! I found a few hotels open and choose one and spent the whole day basically doing nothing since there was nothing open to go an...

Le vin de riz ou comment se bourrer la gueule pour pas cher... Vous savez qu'il manque une enzyme aux asiatiques qui les empeche de bien tenir l'alcool. Vous qui me connaissez, savez quelle ravissante coloration rosee mon teint prend quand j'en consomme (mais je tiens ! Ca c'est grace a l'experience - Papa, si tu me lis...-). Et bien en contrepa...

Adventures Galore! We arrived from Kon Tum after four hours in a bus, pretty much exactly the same as the last one.....jammed in cheek to jowl. But, we are old pros at it now, so no problem. HA! Yesterday we took a taxi - fancy, huh - to Dray Sap Falls. It was wonderful to walk around without a giant group of tourists and take our time. There we...
