We heard the driving was very dangerous and for the first two hours we were really scared and then after a while when faced with constant perceived eminent death, we relaxed and accepted our fate and started to really enjoy the journey and skill of our driver. They are very experienced drivers and you cannot compare it to how we drive in the west. We had a great time in the end and the views out of the car were fantastic. It’s not for the faint hearted or the week of stomach but if you like adventure and living on the edge, I highly recommend it.

The driver arranged to pick me up at 6 PM at Sunshine Garden, Duong Van Be Street. He arrived right on time. On the way back, I even got to listen to some great songs about Cao Bang, composed by the owner of the transportation company himself. I really liked the song "Cao Bang Boong Hay"—a perfect 10 for quality.
