Moped adventures!

Today, my first day in the beautiful Phang Nha, I joined up with a couple of German lads and a Scottish guy called Steve to rent Mopeds to tour Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park.

What a fantastic trip!

We drove through dense vegetation, above and below huge limestone karst cliff faces to sheer drops avoiding cows, water buffalo and wild dogs. One of whom decided to attack me as I drove by biting at my ankles, so I did what any strong man would, screamed like a little girl and sped up riding side saddle away from him!

We stopped at paradise cave, one of the biggest caves in the world. It was very beautiful and so vast! 

We then continued and to round off an amazing day we say some wild gibbon like monkeys about 20 meters from us who free fell from tree to tree as they swung away from us. A real treat to see an incredibly rare species in the wild.

That evening by pure chance I met Gabriel and Teresa, an American couple I had spent an evening with in Interlaken, Switzerland several months ago!
