Vietnam Top Gear tour day 4 - Phong Nha
No riding today - just cruising the river, exploring the huge caves and relaxing.
These aren't just any old caves, they're some of the biggest caves in the world and they're incredibly old. The water dripping down through the limestone has created living sculptures throughout that are breathtaking in their beauty.
Inside the cave, the temperature dropped, the bright sunlight was left behind and everything was quiet and tranquil. Floating silently though the caves was almost like being in another world - it felt so isolated and surreal.
And to top it off, late in the afternoon I found a cocktail bar making near-perfect whiskey sours. While I sat by the river watching the sunset over the mountains, the staff would walk across the road to bring me my drinks and the world was a very nice place to be. Vietnam is a very special place.
