Hi everyone. Since the trip finished I've had to return to the daily grind, which has been hard as you can probably imagine! I kept busy for a couple of weeks writing up the blog entries for the last few days of the trip, and merging the photos with the posts which is something I didn't have time for while we were out there.
Next on the list for me is to go through the few hours of GoPro footage which I took almost as an afterthought. If you recall from the posts here, I only bought it a few weeks before the trip and it only got switched on for the second time once we arrived. As it happens, some of the footage came out quite well. What I'm working on at the moment is putting together a few 2-minute videos of mixed footage, with each short video including shots taken from two consecutive days. The first one will be footage from Hanoi and the following day. Its the first time I've edited any video, and the GoPro editor definitely takes a bit of getting used to so bear with me!
While I'm posting I want to share a couple of blogs with you.
Dave Barr's Rough Riders: http://www.chutzpah.org.za/
Dave Barr is a US double-amputee who lost both his legs while serving in the South African army. He then went on to circumnavigate the world on a Harley Davidson! His book of that adventure, Riding the Edge, is a great read and I would highly recommend it.
Dave is about to commence a trip around South Africa to raise money for the Cheshire Homes, which is a worldwide charity that helps the disabled.
John's Adventures in SE Asia: http://www.ridingseasia.blogspot.co.uk
John is an American ex-pat who toured Vietnam last year, as well as a few other countries in SE Asia. He liked the place so much, when he got home he sold up and moved over there. His blog is always amusing and entertaining.
