Day 22 14/11/2009

Slept terrible last night… no idea why. But still got up early to meet with the Czech’s to hire motorbikes and see some sights around town. First we headed to Tamcoc to see Halong bays land/river equivalent which was a cool boat trip through 3 caves but a little too pricy.

Next stop was Thai Vi Temple found just around the corner for the boat ride…. This gave me lots of opportunities to take some decent HDR’s and small panos… a beautiful place.

We then went to a temple situated at the top of one of the mountains apparently not having a name that took a lengthy staircase that looked so incredibly asian to a Temple and a Dragon Statue at the top. The panoramic view from the top was breathtaking; thankfully I brought my tripod to capture this, although it was a bit of a shame that it was a little foggy. At this point I was tired as fuck but still pushed on for the day to see as much as I could. We headed out to see small fishing Village called Kenh Ga but we got lost along the way… terribly lost… by the time we made it there it was getting close to dark and it really wasn’t going to be worth it.

We headed back to the hotel in the dark where I met a few randoms and had noodles…again. Said my farewells to the Czechs where they refused money for the rental of the motor bikes from me and went to bed for hopefully an early days cycling.
