We've been so lucky with all the people we've met and trusted on this trip. Our luck ran out this morning. Seriously. Can you even imagine a crazy knife-weilding Vietnamese dude with his top lip cut off wearing a communist soldier's hat? He even ... Read more >

Kudos to Isaac Newton for discovering the Law of Gravity based on the simple premis, "What goes up, must come down." I find however that the opposite is true when it comes to hiking: "What goes down, must come up." At least this ... Read more >

After talking to other travellers who said that Hue,the capital of Vietnam before Hanoi, didn't have a huge amount to offer. As such, we gave ourselves a day to 'do Hue'. After nabbing ourselves a 'penthouse suite' with killer views right across the ... Read more >

I find buying ready made clothes stressful enough, so after three days of dealing with tailors and making clothes from scratch, I was at breaking point and left Cat to it. Fortunately, the nearby Cham Islands promised some underwater treats to take my ... Read more >

This is me with the clothes we got made in Hoi An. I would like to point out that they're not all for me, but also for my mum and dad and sister and husband. So it's not really as bad as it looks :) After the stress of choosing a great tailor with ... Read more >

Typically Vietnam: a teenage girl biking down the street in a white ai do (long, tight fitting dress with side splits to the waist and trousers underneath). Not a very practical school uniform, but it looks beautiful. 5 people on one motorbike with ... Read more >

We've been on the move since Christmas and it all finally caught up with us. James was sick for a few days in Ho Chi Minh and once he got better, I got sick in Dalat. We're fine now, but it made for a pretty scratchy, grouchy, tired kind of week. ... Read more >

Our trip to Sapa, a small mountain town in North Vietnam, began with an overnight train. Before our group of mothers and daughters clamored onto the train, we stocked up on nightcaps of Tiger beer in the station. Compared to Emma and my many experiences ... Read more >

The open bus system in Vietnam makes it too easy and get locked into the tourist route. After spending the last 5 days on the back of a motorbike exploring the central highlands and the Ho Chi Minh trail, I'm so glad we resisted the temptation to take ... Read more >

So this is me squeezing in to a tiny hole at the Cu Chi tunnels. You can see that the tunnels weren't built for tall white girls, but for tiny little 45kg Vietnamese soldiers. Unbelievably, they managed to survive underground all day for years, and the ... Read more >

10 days is not nearly enough to see Vietnam. Joe and I arrived in Hanoi on the 20th and we feel like we have been in a rush ever since. We spent one day and two nights in Hanoi. Unfortunately, the day we spent in Hanoi was a Monday and no museums ... Read more >

I arrived at Ho Chi Minh City and was greeted by sweltering heat and a mass of silent Vietnamese who seemed mesmerized by the sight of a wild-haired 'mature' backpacker being knocked over by a pair of equally wild-haired identical twins. Huge hugs all ... Read more >

We planned a visit without getting our hopes up too much ... Read more >
