Don’t Get My Motorbike Wet…

I’m addicted to montages.


This one is of Kim and I on our $300 motorbike in Southern Vietnam, off-roading, crossing a river and checking out some waterfalls… just before we got arrested and detained for the better part of three days (story coming soon).


The dirt roads that we drove on for the first week of our trip were a little hairy at times. We crashed twice — once while trying to dodge a rogue cow and another time trying to slowly cross a wooden bridge. The funny part was that Kim actually got the crashes on video (she used to take a lot of videos while we drove — something about being bored because she couldn’t see around my big helmet).


I’m going to post the crash videos (they’re pretty hilarious) as soon as Kim emails them to me.


(UPDATE: The videos were on Kim’s laptop, which got stolen…)


Oh yeah, and that picture of Kim driving: She’s faking it. I didn’t let her actually drive the bike until much later on in the trip…


Camping Was In Tents

Josh, Liam and I went camping in the Cape Breton Highlands this past weekend.


Road trip. Music. Hiking. Camping. Photography. Moose.


Brilliant time.


(I should note about the photographs near the end of the video that look professional: it’s because they are. Josh took them, and he’s an amazing pro photographer. Check out his site: www.jwebb.ca)
