This morning we head inland towards the Laos border after 40min riding we
can reach the birthplace of Ho Chi Minh in Kim Lien Village. The place is truly
a shrine to the Vietnamese and visited by few westerners. After paying respects
to Uncle Ho, we head to the HCM Highway via Thanh Chuong District. You cross
the Lam River on the Ro Bridge and then drive primarily on the beautiful new
highway of Ho Chi Minh. Lunch break in Pho Chau Town, a tiny town about 40km
from Thanh Chuong. After lunch, we continue on the quiet highway to Dong Loc
Intersection, (main junction for supply lines during the war) which is widely
regarded in Vietnamese eyes as the beginning of Ho Chi Minh Trail. We then pass
through remote back country, close to the Ha Tinh motorcycle tours border , as
the scenery steadily becomes dominated by karst limestone rock formations. We
will reach our overnight spot, Huong Khe Town, around 5pm. Dinner in local
restaurant and overnight in a mini hotel. Summary: Distance: 160 km
