The road seem pretty clear yeah it’s good Yeah [Applause] [Applause] S Oh good morning so we’ve just woken up in Van dong no dong van oh dongan close enough close enough yeah we were just going to do one night here but we decided to do two um as yesterday we had a little bit of an accident um yeah

Little little fall off the bike little fall off the bike um so we kind of kind of just killed our viik we’re all all right though we’re fine toe yeah it wasn’t anything too dramatic just yeah and then we’re off to the point of Viet Vietnam today so just going up to

The Chinese border pretty much yeah hopefully we’ll be able to see China yeah so it’s a 50-minute drive um no backpacks on the bike today so hopefully it’ll be a bit easier it’ll be a bit easier up the hills hopefully um and yeah let’s go excited to see The View You see a fence up there yeah yeah ask me the board up there yeah yeah China is literally just over There so I’m heading up to the they said there’s a fence up here that you can touch which is the Chinese border between China and Vietnam so climbing up this steep oh butterfly climbing up this steep steep pass let’s go touch a fence so yeah see you in a second

Guys well here it is the gate the fence I’m s our breath walking on that seat Hill but here is the fence between Vietnam in China there we go and China is literally just there crazy we did it baby all right back down I go That’s China over there I know the most northern part of Vietnam so not only have we done the highest we’ve also doing the most norest part just got some steps to climb yeah so you can’t get any closer to the Chinese border than this look at this and we made

It there’s China all the way around there pretty unbelievable we in it yeah we did it we skipped out on the flag post and we cuz it’s not actually the most northern point the lungu flag point it’s actually here can you see so you want to skip through it and go off a

Little road you need to head to to a little place called I’m not going to say it X EO lung and then you turn off and you follow the road come down a bit of a slope I don’t know how going to get back up bit of a

Slope and I RAM and then he comes through yeah oh how incredible and like I said it’s insane love it these are the uh the moments that we live for baby h Hello China China FL Yeah they back on the bike back on the road back on the road we just Pi upo um and we’re headed to the r highing last day the petol let’s go this is the main road we decided to go up here taking a detour taking a bit of a detour you

30 but the views are nice yeah lovely there is the rock that you saw earlier that you can sit on but yeah I can’t we ain’t doing that I ain’t doing that no it looks so sketchy too much yeah I got to get married yeah yeah see he Heights

Aren’t too bad they’re all right but not not sketchy Heights like that cuz you you you sort Have To Shimmy up like this it’s hard to explain you probably can’t see it but you have to like shimmy up you know one one false move and that’s

Game over yeah you grip wrong that’s it and it’s literally like a jagger bit of rock that just sticks out on there we traveled North Vietnam now for over 3 weeks and you know I can never get bored I know I’ve literally just said that we

Boat tour today and then we’ll probably get something to eat in a bit Yeah and then yeah off to the boat tour see that’s a taxi you can get for 30,000 dong but like I’d be so scared I’m going up so fast like good hello oh you’re so Dy so we made it to the boat toour well the boat toour ticket counter it was a bit of a rubbish Drive was it it was all downhill and all rubbish roads yeah it wasn’t great didn’t enjoy it at all no and the thought of going back up

Is a little bit hairy but yeah yeah go back up but it is what it is that’s okay so we’ve got our ticket so it’s 120 yeah 120 each 120 each goes takes you on the bus down to there and then a B Tour so back again and then back again number 26 the reality of this boat tour is Instagram got the shop might be a long boat ride so welcome back to another episode of boat tours round Vietnam um the this one at the bottom of the at the bottom of the list um I don’t really know

Really I I don’t know if it was cut short maybe we were have a group of people who were obviously influencers or something I don’t know yeah they were taking loads of pictures and they dropped off at some home stay or something then our trip will cut short

So I don’t know if we were just here for them yeah so it wasn’t the best of about trips I’ll be honest with you which is quite disappointing cuz I was really looking forward to it yeah so I drove down treacherous roads for a boat trip

That was cut short now we got to go back up the treacherous now we got to go back up the treacherous road it’s getting late we got a couple of hours till we get back to our home stay so wish us luck yeah hopefully we make it So good morning we’re on day five of the high Jan Loop this morning we’re kind of well today we’re kind of going off the loop a little bit we’re heading so we’re currently in BAC today BAC yep well we had a little bit of a gring drive

Yesterday she made it up the hill from the lake fine yeah but we kind of had to drive a little bit in the dark was a little bit scary so last 20 minutes so yeah that’s the best no so we have no idea what this looks like where we are

Now so we could have drove through the best views we’ve ever seen but we wouldn’t know about it um but yeah so today we’re going over to cow bang CU we’re going to go see the big waterfall and we got a few stops on the way to

Stop out we got a little hike um so we can see this really windy windy road we’ll let you know what it’s called so yeah come with us for our day five hi Jang Loop slot Loop let’s go I will say I think that was my favorite home

Wonder how far we’ll be able to do this time start up to you Day there clear road ahead did it very hell that was hard that was mental that was okay so we made it to the top of the 15 turn par Mountain Pass wasn’t what we expected no there was a massive Landslide yeah yeah maybe we’ll put a

Little clip in here or a little photo of what it’s supposed to look like and you can kind of see from our video what it currently looks like but not a good start the trip cuz it’s not yeah it’s completely destroyed down there yeah it wasn’t what I was expecting and I was

Looking forward to diers out there digging the road up while moving all the rubble across that was wild stuck in traffic for about 20 30 minutes each time until we could go yeah so what was supposed to be a beautiful ride didn’t turn out that way it’s a little bit

Misty today out here not the Sun that we used to but when in Vietnam you know ups and downs yeah me you don’t ever know what you’re going to come across never know what to expect the unexpected it started to Rain Trish what’s going on now at least the rain stop literally like um it’s like at home the road one can’t escape it even halfway across the world so we got 46 minutes left till we get to cow bang we’re just having a little stop now cuz our buns are l so

Sof yeah riding the bike it’s all good riding bike going around all these beautiful places but my poor bum bum yeah I don’t think my bum can take anym as flat as a pancake every day but it’s been a good ride today to be fair a lot of Road

Works on the way all we’ve had today is a mango smoothie a mango smoothie a Red Bull yeah there’s just been nowhere to stop to get food no so it’s been quite a long journey but that is one thing about Vietnam you know there isn’t like loads

Of places that you can just stop and get something to eat okay so we just made it to cow bang made it here after 3 hours yeah very sore bums today we’ve had the rain we’ve had bad roads it’s not been one of our favorite dve plus there’s not

Been a lot of like places to stop or viewpoints just been like straight forward Road get there all bumpy but yeah we made it though so sound so we’re going to end the video here cuz tomorrow we’re going to take you along to the waterfall here which is apparently the
