Don’t look forward. Keep looking down. Breathe. Ignore the panic cries from the couple behind you. Keep crawling. Tell yourself, “If soldiers can survive these ever confining tunnels while carrying 25-100 pounds of gear with bombs shattering the ground ... Read more >

I met an American traveler while in Cambridge, not Massachusetts but the city in Cambridgeshire. The man recognized we were students from abroad, and with impeccable northern dialect, he started speaking to us mainly in Vietnamese. A native of California, ... Read more >

Hot Hanoi Nights
The lights seemed quite dim as we arrived in the terminal, like there were fluorescent bulbs missing. In hindsight I think it was just the grime of age and probably cigarettes. It felt a little creepy for a capital city airport ... Read more >

History without war in its pages is incomplete. The human condition of violently expressing himself through the death of another is revealed through the many creative ways one can kill. This is the "travel treasure" I found in the people of Cu Chi. The ... Read more >

Off to visit Uncle Ho! The queues at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum were ridiculously long but moved fairly swiftly. This place is taken very seriously by the locals - you must be dressed respectfully and conduct yourself the same - or one of the hundreds ... Read more >

The day started early as we were off to Halong Bay. It is a three and 1/2 hour drive each way. Pleasant enough trip, with the scenery changing and the company good. Getting out of Hanoi was probably the toughest bit. Like much ... Read more >

Our first stop for the day was the `Hanoi Hilton` as it was colloquially known by the US POWs or Hoa La Prison Museum. It mainly deals with the French occupancy, but there is one section about the US pilots who were incarcerated there - ... Read more >

A long day but not a tough one. We caught the bus from Sapa to Lao Cai where we stopped and checked out China. It was just across the river, it was quite weird. I did ask if we could walk across the bridge and back, but as our Visa for Vietnam is single ... Read more >

Left our motel and spent most of the morning at Tai Bai (Hue) airport as our plane was late. Arrived in Hanoi and it was cold (OK cold according to Cayte). Got on our far too small bus and headed for Sapa. Interesting journey crammed in with our luggage, ... Read more >

Happy wedding anniversary to us!! 27 years...... Scary. Started the day with a cyclo ride to the Imperial City. It was interesting, and the Vietnamese are currently putting a lot of work into recreating it exactly as it was because it was damaged significantly ... Read more >
