To finish up our tour of Southeast Asia, we spent a few weeks cycling in Central Vietnam. We experienced lots of highs and lows in Vietnam, going from fantastic cycling roads along the coast to intense and unpredictable traffic in the cities. We spent some time off the bikes in Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An before boxing our bikes and flying to South Korea.

  2. I m vietnamese, but I m living in California…I wish you 2 have a very good time bicycles in Viet Nam , good luck and best wish for you 2…I love you 2…

  3. i advice when you want visit beach in Vietnam do not go when it look cloudy and windy. some time in Vietnam there will be a typhoon.
    people who not know Vietnam well don't know this thing. typhoon in Vietnam is cruel it deadly sometime best just find some hotel. and see the beach tomorrow if weather going well

  4. A great trip. A great video. Love bike rides. Had a 100 km trip yesterday, but it's nothing compared to what you ride everyday. Ride safe both of you. Your new subscriber from Russia.

  5. Listen, we are not like other poor asean countries. Pls do not come if you are poor and dirty. Otherwise, enjoy vietnam, the most beautiful country in the world. Proud Vietnam !

  6. We should really avoid the highway when cycling through Vietnam. However, interesting experiences with nature and people will be worth the trade-off. Really sorry about the accident at the last minute. A warning light and a small bell are tips to avoid unnecessary accidents when we cycle in Vietnam. Our traffic and culture are improving day by day. Hope you are excited in the next coming to Vietnam. Thanks!

  7. Are you happy when you come to Vietnam with difficulties on the way?That's how Vietnam is, hard and busy, what will you describe to your loved ones when you are in our country? Wish your journey more favorable and sunny

  8. Are you sure that is just a sidewalk? That looks pretty wide to me, as if they meant it to be a combination bike path, like that is where they want you to ride.

  9. Wonderful views! I never been interested about Vietnam, but this video make me interesting for Vietnam🇻🇳
    Thanks so much for using our songs🙏
