    Thuong looks very pro with the bike packing gear and the way she rides! I hope she looks back fondly on the whole tour. I know she found the Vietnamese heat hard in places. Tours are interesting with so many highs and lows. The highs do nearly always make up for it. That was extra hot though, well done both.

    It’s good to see you guys making progress on your adventure. I especially like how you are able to pan the camera to show the sights and sounds as you are riding. It’s neat to see the changing scenery. It’s too bad those truck drivers blare their horn as they pass by. I can’t stand that. Also, I hope you find out the cause of your bike’s mystery click. Let us know when you find out! Good luck to you both!

      If you come to Hanoi, you can service your bike at Chain 6 Bike work (No. 2, Alley 192, Giai Phong Street, Phuong Liet, Thanh Xuan, Ha Noi). It's a very good place, and the staff speaks English.

    What an advantage it is to have Thoung. Not only does she know the language and culture, but if it is true that foreigners are always charged more, she saves the two of you money. It looks like she always does the buying.
    I strongly suggest the Garmin Varia radar. I always use mine. Ride safely and keep the entertaining videos coming.

    A hotel room without any available soap, how perfectly disgusting ! Everything is likely is likely to be contaminated and you are lucky you did not get gastroenteritis or worse. The rubbing alcohol helped , but it is always wiser to carry some small travel toiletries with you.
    Loved the unexpected waterfall and the green hills, but you can tell that you are by now pretty tired and looking forwards to the end of the journey. It is great to see too, how well matched you are.

    Cruise, Another nice video. Thank you for your insight on the "sleeper" buses. I had concerns about their safety for passengrs when I first heard about them. I bet the drivers are under a lot of pressure to get to the destination and stops on time and drive aggressively to meet those times. Pretty sad to see that burned out bus still on the side of the road. Maybe it was left there as a grim reminder to others to drive carefully. Here in the States, something like that would be moved within hours.

    Oh, and you know, I think you are on to something there as far as the rattle/ noise goes. A section of cable housing on that internal -routed bike is maybe slapping against the inside of the downtube or bb shell. Reminds me to never buy an internally routed frame😁
