Hanoi bound..!

The initial route south is planned out, and we are almost ready to roll... So it's time for a bit of an over-due update.
Work has been pretty busy, and my film friends and I just lost a close friend, so it's been a bit of a roller coaster of a few weeks...
But now I'm taking a bit of time to get all the tech side of things ready and updated.

One thing I had forgotten to mention about the images on this 'blog' is that if you click on any of the images, they'll open larger in the next web page...
Apologies for some of the previous images that were rather grainy... I think I messed up on a few compression settings...
Most of the images here will be iPhone snaps though, with the (hopefully) fancier images from my Nikon on the main website HERE












Well, Tom is here, having arrived safe and well last week, and we have all our gear and bikes packed in boxes... Tomorrow, once we are 100% ready, they'll be taped up and will be off to the airport in the afternoon, being given a ride by my good mate Guy, in his huge Mercedes van.





We'll be spending a few days in Hanoi, getting our bearings, sightseeing, and hopefully taking a trip out to Halong Bay, possible overnight on a Junk Boat... Photos will be posted for sure!

After that, we'll stock up on about 4 days worth of supplies, and begin the battle to ride out of the city. We are aiming to get about 100kms out on the first day, and onto the Ho Chi Minh Highway to make our way south to Vinh, the next planned resupply stop.

The next update will be from Vietnam... So until then...

RWK & RWT,

OUT!
