About this listen
Trading mountains for the miraculous.
Recharged in Sa Pa, it was time for Divina to move us south. This week, we tackle the overnight train to Ninh Bình, and it was exactly the kind of travel irony we’ve come to expect. We paid for the comfort of a luxury sleeping car, only to receive the complementary, very unwelcome extras of incredibly loud rattling and seismic bumps all night long.
The journey was rough, but the destination was pure hypnosis. Arriving in Ninh Bình, we were immediately calmed by a landscape unlike any other in Vietnam. We explore the serene waterways filled with slow-moving rowing boats, the towering limestone cliffs that seem to rise straight out of the rice fields, and the beautiful, quiet power of the ancient temples we found. A perfect place for a prayer of thanks—or maybe just a plea for a quieter onwards journey.
Join us as we witness the rewards of endurance, and find out why this place is often called "Ha Long Bay on land."
We threw away the map and handed the compass to Divina. Hit subscribe to join us for the kind of rewards that only truly exceptional decisions deliver.
