We decided to go and see a few sights ourselves today despite it being a lot of walking. So after breakfast we set off for the 8km walk to the meditation centre. We went the wrong way though and did a good 3km extra than what we needed! On the way we ... Read more >

I got up earlier than Liam today to go have an hour on the beach before check out. It was a really nice hour laying by myself on the sand and it was early enough for the beach to be emptier and late enough for the sun to be nice. We packed up, checked ... Read more >

Monday 5th
Not much to write for today really, we had another beach day today only I stayed in the shade of the palm trees and Liam did a little bit of sunbathing on and off. It was a really nice day, we read, listened to music, had the most amazing ... Read more >

Saturday
A deliberately leisurely get up again this morning, smothered in some cream, made up our lunch bag and out for breakfast at about 10am. After stopping off for croissants and fruit smoothies (which by the way are pure fruit and delicious!) ... Read more >

HCMC was fairly nice for Vietnam. People were friendly and the scams weren't as readily apparent. I toured the War Remembrance Museum my first day, which was absolutely ghastly, showing pictures of the tortured as well as instruments and cages used for ... Read more >

Hoi An is my favorite city in Vietnam so far (although that's not saying much). I designed a dress, shirt and and pair of shorts to be made at Bi Bo tailers and had a pair of sandals made at a shoe store. All were made within a day and I went back for ... Read more >

We both slept fairly well lastnight considering the potential for disaster. The train was quieter than the last one, but we were disturbed at I think from around 5am ish by the Vietnamese men waking up. They all seem to speak very loudly, half the time ... Read more >

Another leisurely get up today, just plodded along this morning and spent the morning getting sorted and packing for 12pm check out. We were able to leave our bags in reception for the day which is helpful because our taxi isn't until 8.30pm so we have ... Read more >

Lastnight we watched a walking dead episode so I was a bit late getting onto Skype. Liam fell asleep during my conversation with them, I was on for an hour and it was great! It was just like being with them only they got to eat cake and I didn't! I ended ... Read more >

We both slept like a log lastnight, we were so tired. The bed is massive again and we were both so tired we were asleep as soon as the lights were out. I woke up when the alarm went off, no sooner...and Liam was about a meter away from me! We both really ... Read more >

Second day in Hue and I still like it do much more then Hanoi. People are much nicer and I haven't been ripped off yet. I even paid the same amount for my water as the local next to me! I toured the Citadel today- it was built in 1804 by the Nguyen dynasty ... Read more >

After another wonderful breakfast we checked out and met our biker guides for the day. All of our bags were strapped onto the bikes, helmets on and off we went. The route was so much better than what we would have taken on the bus as well as the ... Read more >

I finally made it to Hue this am after an overnight bus from Hanoi. I couldn't wait to get out of Hanoi! I can't think of a worse town I've visited in all my travels. Just one scam after another and not friendly people. I also left just as Typhoon Su-... Read more >

Woke up feeling quite disorientated this morning with calf muscles hurting a bit...must be from the long walk yesterday. We had a leisurely wake up, went down for our buffet breakfast which easily rivalled the last hotels breakfast for less than half ... Read more >

Apart from some banging of something knocking against the train at 4am last night we both had a good enough sleep. I was on the bottom bunk, Liam was on the top. We were all awake by about 7.30am, sorted ourselves out ready to get off and spent the last ... Read more >
