A couple of days later we cross into Laos and return to the
Mekong River as we pause in the nation’s capital Vientiane.
We then head to Luang Prabang, another town to have been
recognised by UNESCO, before continuing along minor
roads to the very north of the country where we pass back
into Vietnam. The terrain now looks very different from
that which we experienced at the beginning of the event as
we head ever more north following part of the Ho Chi Minh
Trail, the wartime North–South supply route.

Although we spend two nights in the market town of Sa Pa
with its magnificent scenery and iconic rice paddies, there is
no rest as we tackle a spectacular 200-kilometre mountain
loop that includes Vietnam’s highest road, the Tram Ton
Pass. Then for the next few days we keep the Chinese border
on our left, as we blaze a trail through spectacular and
remote scenery before winding our way down to Halong Bay,
yet another World Heritage Site, on the South China Sea.
We plan to take in a day-long cruise through the spectacular
bay and the famous limestone isles on a luxury boat on the
penultimate day of our journey. From there it only remains to
take the highway that leads us to Hanoi. Our grand colonial-era
hotel will be a real treat after four wonderful weeks on the road.
