Misty Tam Dao

At first when looking out the window in the morning it looked like the fog disappeared somewhat but after looking closer it just gave way to rain.

Not long after the rain eased off, the fog came back. After finding some rain coats it was time to go for a quick drive around before heading back to Hanoi.

This trip really made the Olympus TG-4 worth the price and it performed great. Sure, my phone has better IQ but it's not waterproof and having a camera out in any kind of weather is great.

Since the Olympus TG-4 is also shock proof, I could just have it around my wrist when driving and never had to worry when it bashed against the frame of the bike or when it got soaked.

People say the best camera is the one you have with you but after getting the Olympus TG-4 I have to say, the best camera is the one you can use at all times (and obviously have with you).

Hanoi to Tam Dao Roadtrip

Since I've been in Hanoi again and had to wait around for some paperwork, I figured why not try to get out of the city and do a motorbike trip somewhere.

With some friends, I decided on Tam Dao since it isn't too far from Hanoi and it offers nice views.

The weather was very cold and grey but this didn't stop us from setting off after lunch anyway. The first part of the road led us past the airport and through some villages.

Once we started the descent to Tam Dao, we were also greeted by fog that kept getting heavier the closer we got to Tam Dao. The fog made for a nice atmosphere but the views were quite limited and not as exciting as they surely are when its clear.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone and have a great time in 2016!

This year has seen a lot of changes for me and a lot has happened. Changes are always good and it's been a very interesting year.

Starting the year in London and finishing it in Vietnam in my own coffee shop and bar is something I'm very happy about but  this would not have been possible without a "little help from my friends".

I am sure 2016 will be equally as interesting and who knows where I will end the year this time round.
