Vietnam - Stage 1 - Photographs
After getting his bike ‘Stumpjumper’ ready, he rode down into the Mekong Delta, and then West in Southern Cambodia, crossed Tonle Sap to Siem Reap, then found the Mekong once more and rode North into Laos.
At Savannaket he turned due East and rode via Highway 9 back into Vietnam at Khe Sanh. From there he rode back to Ho Chi Minh City via the Highway 1 coastal route, with a few hard climbs into the highlands of the South.
