Join me as I embark on the final leg on my Vietnam Road Trip.

I make my way back towards Mai Chau and finally the sun has shown its face! We reach the beautiful rural villages of Pu Luong and observe the friendly locals as they go about their daily graft. They are happy to see me and welcome me into their homes and places of work. It was a special experience to drive around the villages and see so many smiles and warm welcomes when they noticed I wasn’t a local.

I spent the night in a homestay before making my way back to Mai Chau in the morning. We hand the bike back to Mr Chung Lang who wants my Everton shorts as he believes they will bring him good luck.

I believe since I handed Mr Chung Lang my Everton shorts his wife has left him, his business has burnt down and he has been diagnosed with diabetes. Mr Chung Lang mustn’t know much about Everton.

Pu Luong

It’s definitely one of my favourite places and I wished I could’ve stayed longer. The world’s a big place and there’s so many places I am yet to visit but I would like to return to Pu Luong one day.

This place was exactly what I was dreaming about before visiting Vietnam. Pu Luong really is the hidden gem of Vietnam and I hope it stays that way.
