We hired a motorbike today (a Honda 1.25cc for Adams interest) and took ourselves out of the dusty city that is Ninh Binh to Kim Soc 30km away. May I add we looked pretty foxy in our pink and blue helmets.
Our aim was to reach Kim Soc, to visit an old Phat Diem Cathedral, in one piece and take some nice photos. This we did, although we did have 2 near death experiences along the way - not our fault.
Phat Diem is a catholic cathedral and sits in the middle of a region that I can only describe as having (bizarrely) a very english feel. We passed through various villages, all with churches and respective church spires and also white, thatched cottages. Strange but beautiful.
A great day but we are both suffering from the non tarmaced roads - sore bottoms!
