Amerika nemzeti parkjai Denverrel

An interesting blend of Vietnam from north to south including an o/n sleeper train. The success and enjoyment of these trips is usually down to the blend of fellow travellers and team leader and this one was no different. The weather,early season, was mixed with a little more rain and cloud than hoped for but did not detract from the enjoyment but a little more sunshine would have enhanced the countryside. A read of the brochure and trip notes will give a very accurate picture of the breadth and variety of the trip. The daily riding distances are mainly governed by the fitness of the participants and their ability to cover the miles in a reasonable time and for the first time in my experience of 7 trips we were delayed by some participants who frankly were not cycling fit and I wonder if they had read and understood the pre - trip advice!

Már voltunk párszor kerékpáros túrán, és ez volt talán a legjobb. Az idegenvezetőnk kiemelkedő volt, és a kerékpáros társaink is nagyszerű emberek voltak. Igazi ízelítőt kaptunk a vietnami életből. Sok érdekes étel. Az ételek finomak és bőségesek voltak. Azt hittük, fogyni fogunk, de nem! Jó szállodák. Sok látnivaló volt, de néhányat kiemelnék: a Bálna-szigetet és Hoi An-t, a 30 km-es izgalmas lejtmenetet és a belvárosi forgalomban való kerékpározást...... nagyszerű móka, de hevesen ver a szíved. Elég tele van, ami miatt az ember több időt szeretne tölteni a meglátogatott helyeken. A szokásos menetrend szerint érkezünk 17-18 óra között, és másnap reggel 7.15-kor indulunk. Azonban találtunk időt úszni a szálloda medencéiben. Az éjszakai vonatozás nagyon szórakoztató volt....mind a kaland része. Az ország teljes hosszának bejárásához vannak hosszabb buszozási idők, de a busz kényelmes volt, de remek alkalom volt beszélgetni az útitársakkal. Ez időt ad arra is, hogy többet lássunk az országból és megfigyeljük az embereket. Megdöbbentett minket, mennyi mindent el lehet pakolni egy robogón! A kerékpárok ideálisak voltak az útviszonyokhoz képest, tiszták és nagyon jól karbantartottak. A gyakori pihenőhelyeken rengeteg gyümölcslé, víz, gyümölcs, dió és keksz volt. A sofőr és a kerékpárszerelő nagyon barátságosak és nagyon hozzáértőek voltak. Nagyszerű szervezés, a dolgok akkor történtek, amikor Tri megígérte.

Another exciting adventure with this tour company.Our trip was at the end of April/beginning of May and it was very hot !!!! I'm told June/July is even hotter. Phew !!!!Despite this I loved every minute of it.It was a very busy trip but extremely well organised. I very much liked the additional drink stops as it was so very hot. Home made chilled lime was just the thing. I also very much liked Lam pre-booking the meals and us all going together. He found some wonderful places and we had delicious fresh food. There just isn't time to find somewhere yourself. This really worked well.We were lucky to be with a super group of people. Everyone happy and smiling and enjoying every moment..................well................except a few of the group who did get a bit sore. Please do get yourself some chamois butter and padded pants. It works a treat.It worked well having all the cycling in the beginning. The train was much better than I had expected and I slept like a log !!! Whale Island and Halong Bay were real treats and I would have loved more time there. But, overall, the trip was perfect for timing as it kept us within the 15 day Visa limit and we saw and did so much.Despite being informed in writing by the tour operator that our big holdalls/suitcase stays with us all the time......this was not the case. You do need to have a rucksack or flat pack bag big enough for the one and two night stays (Whale Island and Halong Bay). In fact......it works very well to just take small luggage. Much easier to do once you get your head around it.I found the cycling easy compared with other trips I've done but I do feel it is right to be called a Level 3. Everyone cycles slightly differently and there is always a bit of a mix of abilities........which makes for a good group cycle I think
