Vung Tau - Thac Ba Waterfall
Distance: 332 kms
When putting loops together out of the various cities around the country it’s all about the best road options and interesting scenery. I like there to be a hook though and today the lunch spot is it. Swimmers under your riding gear, people, and take a towel. Pretty big day for an early start is recommended.
(A & B) keeps you to the coast and often a stop to catch up if picking a few up on the way out.
(C & D) take you for a look through an interesting fishing village. Few coffee ladies there if needed.
The road leaves the absolute coast then a little and some heavy vehicles to be aware of until you get to
(E) on the map which is a great coffee stop on the water. Bullock rides on offer if you get there early enough.
Go easy speed wise into and out of Lagi. The traffic police in this area are rather dedicated.
Once you cross the A1 its game on through to your night destination really. In the first 5km after you cross the expressway there is often cattle on the road.
Good consistent hot mix. Fast open sweepers early then tightens up in the mountains. If you’re scratching the pegs here you won’t anywhere. One of my favourites in the South.
(F) Your lunch destination and swim spot. Tucked away a bit so very little known outside the local area but popular with local kids so can be quite busy in holiday times.
(G) is a memorial cross in memory of the 18 Australian and 245 Vietnamese soldiers killed In the August 1966 Battle of Long Tan.
(H) back to this nice air conditioned sports bar on the harbour for sundowners to reflect on the day.
