  • Head Out on the Highway!!

    CarloadKinsey’s Guide to Better Living, Chapter Nine: Entrails should Never be consumed!!!

    Heading out on the highway for a four day Easy Rider adventure with our favorite tour guide…Wang!!!!  From Da Lat to Ho Chi Minh City, these next couple of days were going to be Wild!!

    You don’t just haul ass for four days straight cause that is just Too hard on your butt!!  Making stops throughout the day to see the sites and flex our gluteus maximus muscles!!

    Now when you think of a roller coaster what comes to mind?!?!?  Exactly, a track that people ride in small cars on with really steep slopes and narrow turns to pump up the adrenaline junky in all of us as we barrel down the incline at rapid speeds!!   Boy, were our assumptions wrong on this one!! In the land of Vietnam, a whole nother countray, roller coasters are different!!  How so you may ask??!?!  Well for one you control the speed of the car with a brake that you use to keep the car at a sight seeing pace!! If you go to fast and someone is in front of you, you can and will slam into them at an enormous speed!!  Making you responsible to any and all injuries/lives.  We did not realize these rules until after we barreled into the automatic brakes at the end of the coaster and three attendants were waving and yelling at us to slow our butts down!!!!  Oooopps!!  Thank God all railways were clear!!

  • Highland Adventures

    Waterfall

    Located in the highlands of Vietman, Da Lat is known for it’s mountain views, great trekking and flower farming!  Most of the flowers grown here grace your tables back home.

    Chels on MotorbikeWe came to Da Lat to get off the major tourist trail, whichplagues the coast.  We decided to hire some drivers and spend a day scooting around & seeing the sights!  That is how we met Quang or “Wang” the best tour guide Ever!!  Even beating out our hilarious guide on The Great Wall!!

    This was also the day that we discovered “The Vietnamese Drip” or the world’s Best coffee!!  Thick, strong and iced it has flavor like you can’t even imagine!!  Screw Italian espresso!!!

    We loved Quang sooooooooo much that we decided to take a four-day motorcycle adventure to Saigon or Ho Chi Ming City instead of taking the bus we had planned.  Stay tuned for some more Wang Chung!!!!

    Get your motors running!!
