Motor Scooter Tour

In Hue, Vietnam, we took a motor scooter tour out of the city and into the country side. It was a bit of a risky undertaking because Vietnam has one of the highest incidents of motor scooter accidents in the world, but once we got into the countryside we felt very comfortable. The traffic was minimal and often we were the only ones on the road.

In the morning, we met a group of Vietnamese guys who each chose one of us to drive around.
