The road from Cao Bang to Ha Giang in Vietnam~. I followed Google Maps and experienced endless roundabout hell. It would have been better to just follow the main road... Google Maps became useless the moment I entered a remote village. Instead, I got tired of admiring the Vietnamese countryside... There were many sections under construction on the road to Ha Giang that I ended up on after asking many people. It was a road that the locals drove well on... but it felt unfamiliar and dangerous. Fortunately, I arrived at Bao Lac without any accidents. Originally, it was a distance that could be traveled from Cao Bang to Ha Giang in a day... but I had to stay overnight in Bao Lac. When the sun sets, the Vietnamese countryside turns dark. Since there were no streetlights... I drove at night a lot while traveling by motorcycle in Vietnam. Now, I won't drive at night anymore. I changed my plan to just stay overnight in the beautiful rural village of Bao Lac and arrive at Ha Giang via Bao Lam the next day. This was the day I learned the lesson that you shouldn't rely solely on Google Maps when traveling by motorcycle in Vietnam. #VietnamMotorcycleTravel #VietnamCaoBangHajangMotorcycle #TravelerIsunVietnamMotorcycleTravel
