Tet begins on February 18th this year and it appears we will be in Southern Vietnam at the time. Has anyone cycled through Vietnam during Tet? Any words of wisdom?

Thanks

yes, i did it a couple of years ago and was a little worried before i got there. however i didnt have any problems. i rode from saigon to chau doc staying in mytho and cantho along the way. i had no trouble finding accomodation. when i got to chau doc i took a boat to PP.
