Hanoi and Sa Pa

After a few more days in Saigon we got our bikes boxed up and flew to Hanoi. Surprisingly we ran into very little trouble taking the bikes on the plane, and it only cost us a few dollars extra. The security guards did take out our bike multitool and braided steel cable for a closer […]

Saigon

Riding into Saigon. We made it to Saigon(Ho Chi Minh City) after two hard days of riding, both were close to 80 miles (79 and 77.6, respectively, to be exact). The border crossing was easy and fast and we didn’t have to pay any “passport stamping fee” like in Cambodia, so that was nice. Our […]

Phnom Penh

Four people on a scooter! We made it to Phnom Penh after 4 days of biking on the Cambodian National Highway 6. It was a little over 200 miles, mostly pretty easy riding, although we did have the worst 10 miles of the trip so far. We left Siem Reap fairly late and headed to […]

Siem Reap and Angkor Wat

We’ve spent about five days in Siem Reap now and are getting ready to leave tomorrow morning. It’s been a good stay, although the food has been a little more expensive than we were expecting. That’s partly due to the incredible availability of western style food and our inability to resist splurging on the occasional […]

Pailin to Battambang to Siem Reap

We rode from Pailin to Battambang a few days ago and did about 55 miles, our first longer day in a while. The road in Cambodia is a little worse than Thailand, but it still has a good shoulder and there are less cars on the road and more scooters. The ride took us through […]

Koh Samet to Klaeng to Chanthaburi to Pong Nam Ron to Cambodia! (Pailin)

We crossed the border into Cambodia today. We still haven’t upped our mileage much beyond 30-40, but we’ve started hitting some decent hills and a really strong headwind that’s slowing us way down. We took the ferry from Koh Samet to the mainland and only made it about 20 miles before we found a nice […]

Bang-Pu to Bang Saen and the beach

  So yesterday we rode about 52 miles from Bangpu to Bang Saen. About half the day we spent on a busy highway with large trucks going by, so that was a little stressful. Luckily there was a pretty massive shoulder, much bigger than we’re used to in the states so that wasn’t too bad. […]

Merry Christmas from Nepal

I’m eating lunch at a little guesthouse in Tal, Manang District, Nepal. They actually have done decent Wi-Fi, although no cell service. We’re on day two of the Annapurna Circuit. We started in Bhulbule on Christmas eve after a 9 hour bus ride from Kathmandu and made it to a guesthouse in Ngadi Bazaar. Our […]

Ranchi, On to Nepal

So I’ve been slacking on the blogging front, but I’ve got a pictures to throw up. It’s almost midnight and we are leaving to start trekking on the Annapurna Circuit tomorrow morning at 5:00am. The power is finally on and the wifi seems to be cooperating. Kathmandu has a pretty serious fuel shortage so most […]

Arrival in New Delhi

We made it to Delhi on the 30th at about 4:30am local time. The flight with Kuwait Airways was surprisingly good about staying on schedule and there were no real hiccups in the process other than standing in the wrong line for about a half hour in the Kuwait airport because we weren’t sure which […]
