Xi Chao !
We're starting with sad news ; it's with tear in the eye that we're announcing that we're parting from...Belette™. It was the 24th of November 2011, it was a sunny day and a light breeze was blowing against the pointy mountain of Guilin. This morning, the ignition keys of this temperamental changed hands.
She went away limping for the chinese countrysite so carry six times her weight in wood, straw, rice, and other chickens !
It was a transaction worthy of the biggest black market, eased by the owners and employees of ou Guest House in Guilin who accomodated us for nothing.

In a way its probably better that she explodes in the hands of someone else ! Until the last day we drived her into a corner by leaving for a road trip by the river Li.
Our only salvation was the train and bus to cross the Vietnamese border to go to Ha Noi, where we currently are.
We had to think...how to go to Ho Chi Minh city...To clear our minds we went kayaking and camp in Ha Long bay, more precisely around the island of Cat Ba (and even more precisely on the map)

When we came back, only one solution presented itself to us :
Thank you, thank you for your support, it gave us the strengh (and enabled us) to do it, to add two new friends to our journey and to be free !
Let me introduce you to Lorraine and Le Tavernier !

They will endure the road between here and Saignon, using the old Ho Chi Minh track bombarded by more than 390k-tons of american bombs dropped by B52. Plus the 18000km and trillion of moskitos blood thirsty.
See you in 10 days (or more...)
