Behind great things are always valuable lessons!

There are lonely days, I and the motorbike roam all over the country.

Today I will tell you a part of that journey.

West Ho Chi Minh Trail, one of the top 10 roads worth experiencing by motorbike in the world.

It is a beautiful, majestic land. The West Ho Chi Minh road goes through the forest like a silk strip winding across the length of the country.

My journey has no destination, it is a long trip.

I departed from Hue on a spring morning. After breakfast at Q homestay at 9 am, the rain still hadn't stopped, so I decided to go to A Luoi in the rain. Take Highway 49 to get to A Luoi.

Everything was fine until I had an accident and a car breakdown. Luckily I haven't injured myself.

The road is very empty and there is no place to repair the car. Because I went on Lunar New Year, almost all garages were closed.

I had to drive nearly 100km with broken rearview mirror and damaged gear lever, in the rain and slippery pass.

In return, the scenery on the way is very beautiful.

Around 3 p.m., I also found a garage to repair the car and ate a little because I haven't eaten since breakfast.

4 p.m I arrived at Khe Xanh. It would be brilliant if I stayed there for one night. I made the wrong decision that I would reach Truong Son commune 120km away before dark.

At first, it was beautiful without rain, the road was empty which is also the reason why I thought I would go fast.

But after climbing up, it was so foggy that I had to slow down.

6 p.m. it gets dark and starts to rain. But in the forest of the desert, I had no choice but to advance in the cold, tired and hungry. Right now, I'm still 40km from where I can stay.

It took 2 hours to travel 40km on a pitch-black night in Truong Son, then I also found the motel.

Eat some fast food prepared before the trip because they do not sell food here. After that, I rested for the next journey.

Although I am still safe after all, the lesson I have learned is not to drive alone at night in a deserted place. Before that, I was advised like that by a friend who went before, but because I was so eager to win, I did not listen to it. Luckily for me, nothing unfortunate happened.

The next morning was a beautiful day at the place I stayed. I'm about to continue my journey, but that's another story I'll tell you guys in my next blog.

Đi du lịch bụi một mình đúng là nguy hiểm thật. Có nhiều cái thú vị nhưng nếu gặp tình cảnh như Sang là cũng có chút lo lắng. Rất may Sang đến nơi an toàn và bình an

Thật sự S còn từng rơi vào tình huống tệ hơn nhiều 😅 may mắn là còn trở về và chém gió

Hahaha Vẫn chém gió được là giỏi rồi. Sợ ko dám đi nữa thì mới lo. Nói chung D tin nó đều là kỷ niệm đẹp

your trip is so exciting. keep do it

thank you very much
