I've been retrospectively blogging this 2008 cycle trip in Vietnam. It's not quite finished, but I've published it today (31 October 2025) after getting some sad news.
Vale Glen (in red/grey below): It was a pleasure knowing you through sharing cycling adventures in New Zealand & Vietnam. My heartfelt condolences to Hitomi and all the families & friends his life touched.
