This is a wonderful part of the world to see, but I think it is set to change in the next ten to fifteen years with all the development going on along the coast. This will be great for local employment and betterment but something of the old Vietnam will inevitably be lost, so I am glad we have seen it now.<br /><br />We didn't use bikes on the Hai Van as we we travelling by private car. I think it would be a challenging ride in the temperatures you get out here. My sons hired scooters the week before we arrived and drove up and loved the experience. <br /><br />We had bikes in Hoi An provided by our hotel for cycling into town and the beach, but they don't go in for bikes with gears out here, using them on the flat areas near the coast. The preferred mode of transport is the ubiquitous moped.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-50371588408824503092016-06-23T08:32:01.561-07:002016-06-23T08:32:01.561-07:00Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed the read

Did you rent a bike and make a climb up the switchback laden pass? With little vehicle traffic, that would have been a fun climb.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-18609276819581131652016-06-22T17:11:07.362-07:002016-06-22T17:11:07.362-07:00Fantastic post Jonathan, very interesting, really ...Fantastic post Jonathan, very interesting, really enjoyed your mini tour of past and present!Paulalbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03482911273863430204noreply@blogger.com
