The next morning we were on our way to Danang. We had booked the tickets at the station the previous morning, where I’d been delighted to discover buying them in person rather than online will save you a significant amount of money, and so we just had to find out which platform and wait patiently …
Hue
One noticeable difference in Vietnam to England (and maybe all other countries I’ve visited) is that there seems to be a street dedicated to one kind of product – medical street, plant street, etc. This difference was ever present as we walked through Hue on our first evening. The accommodation was based near the medical …

Thank You
Day 15 A week or two before my arrival Danny had helped to put on a wall art event in Waterford centre. So, as this was where I was beginning the final leg of my journey he pointed me towards some of his favourite pieces. Now I struggle a little with stickman drawings, so I …
In and Around Dungarvan
Day 14 The next morning was the coldest yet. I awoke early to get a good start on the day, and immediately made the decision not to get out of bed. I couldn’t bare to move the covers, instead curling into a tight ball and waiting until the sun rose and the earth began to …
County Cork
Day 13 Exiting the field the following morning I found myself looking out over an expansive lake, the early sun flickering down upon the water. It was a cold but beautiful ride into the heart of Kinsale, the road leading around one body of water or another. Nearing the centre, I chose a coffee shop …
Exhaustion, Ocean Views, and an Afternoon Sprint
Day 11 It took five Weetabix and a banana for me to feel anything like human after the long day of wet riding to Dingle. With a plan to cycle the peninsula loop that morning, I realised my bike would first need some attention. At the end of each day I had been diving into …
