VIETNAM | Wednesday, 21 Sep 2011 | Views [331]

Saigon, Mekong Delta and Mui Ne

VIETNAM | Sunday, 11 Sep 2011 | Views [2170]

Hmmm, so, the Mekong Delta wasn't quite what I expected... I've decided that I actually only like short and slower rides on a scooter - preferably not fast rides along a highway with the wind being REALLY NOISY and then with the rain pelting down ... Read more >
