Default So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, adieu

I'd sing it, but I won't

Well, group hugs all round

Mrs SB and I are just finishing the packing for the red eye to Melbourne tomorrow morning to board the plane for Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) where the traffic flows freely and all roads lead to fantastic scenery.................



Apparently it's getting out of the city could be a minor problem We actually fly to Hanoi after 2 days and collect our bikes there.

I will be taking a computer where periodically I may be able to log in and post a few pictures, so here's hoping.

Catch you on the flip side guys. Five weeks without at least 1000cc's under my bum might prove.........ummmmmmmmm,...........interesting

Cheers, SB

Looking forward to the pics SB. I was over there about 15 years ago and have a pic of Hanoi Honda! The secondary roads are iffy but the city pavement is fine. A very different place of the world for sure. We stayed on China Beach. Great resort with stark poverty right on the other side of the fence? Favorite place was over in Cambodia at the temples in Siemreab/Angkor Wat area. 5 weeks is a nice tour of duty even if it's not on a CBR. Enjoy and send those pics!

I know you love butterlies and such, but the butterflies over there are lethal - especially unexploded ones........
Take care Bear and Joy, enjoy what is I'm told a lovely country.
Looking forward to the pics.

Hope you and the Missus have a great time Seb.

If it's anything like the Top Gear Vietnam special, then you're going to have a great adventure.

Take loads of pictures to make us jealous
