Author: Patrick van der MeerVietnam has a turbulent history of wars. After the American war (known to westerners as the Vietnamese war), the new communist regime closed the borders for foreigners.

As soon as you will arrive in Vietnam, you will be offered all kinds of services, including postcards, shoe shine, and different Vietnam tours.Independent adventure travelers, however, do not fancy organised tours in buses with many tourists. But the lack of public transport almost requires taking such a tour. Unless, of course,you have your own means of transport. In that case, try to reach the following exciting Vietnam destinations on

They were driving from Pausa and were supposed to be meeting me up on the high plain, about an hour before Oyolo, as they were going to be using the “new road” we had learned about when we were there a number of months before.
