Sorry for the lack of posts.

Hi, we are very sorry for the lack of posts from Molly Porsche, but the internet connection in a lot of the hotels has been terrible. Also the days have been very long and hot.
We have been posting each day on our Facebook page at

Vietnam to Myanmar and back. The start of a great adventure

Hi and welcome molly Porsche's blog.This is day 3 of driving on the Vietnam to Myanmar and back. but actually only the second day of the rally proper.

The first day we used as a very useful shakedown. Learning how use the road book and also trying to get used to the driving habits off friendly Vietnamese hosts. Which I must say very good if a little confusing sometimes.

So far we have covered about 500 km of all estimated 8000 kilometers.

The roads have been very mixed in quality but lots of fun, and we've come up with a new term which is a 'murmuration of motorbikes'.

There are so many mopeds and scooters on the road it's quite difficult to actually see the asphalt, as the bikes wizz in and out of each other. Just like the starlings to at the end of Brighton pier.

They're all meant to be 15 classic cars on this rally but unfortunately one of the cars was unable to be dropped at its designated port due to bad weather.

We are hoping that that will join us in two or three days time.

The other missing car is due to the participants being unwell and unable to join us.

Hopefully they will be with us be with us in 6 or 7 Days time. We will then have a full rally.

The scenery  in Vietnam is amazing but there is quite a lot of Forestry work going on hopefully they will be  replanting  the trees that taking down.

The countryside is very clean and the people  seem to be very industrious, and busy earning, a living a bit like the roadsides of India.

Two out of three of the hotels we have stayed at so far have been very good. One of them I think we will best described as interesting and the food that we were served up at the local restaurants could also be described as interesting. It was certainly a very good way of starting a diet.

Molly Porsche is going really well and all the classic cars are running well, so far and without any problems, which is pretty unheard of. Mind you the roads so far have been pretty kind to us.

It's just the volume of nice bikes scooters that gives us any problems, It is really exciting weaving in and out of them and trying to predict whether they're going to turn right left straight on or just turn around and drive straight back at you.

Crash helmets seem to be compulsory which is quite amazing when you see five to six people on 150cc moped they have amazing balancing abilities.

This is going to be a fantastic adventure. We will try to keep the blog updated but the internet is already proving tricky.
