Oh man I feel rough! We were supposed to get up early and go to see some sights with Celine, a girl we met last night but we were to tired. We slept until 2.30 instead! When we finally slept enough we met Åsa and went for some noodle soup and a food stall around the corner from our street! Had spring rolls as well, they were supposed to be vegetarian but had meat in. I think it was crab. After this, Åsa left and we walked to go and see St Josephs Cathedral! ...

Got up at 9.30 in our new guest house Titanic! We have complimentary breakfast but we didn't want it! I needed to change my Kip to Dong but apparently hardly anywhere changes Kip in Hanoi! That is an understatement. You would think being a capital city and being neighbouring countries with Laos that they would change there currency anywhere but they don't! I went into about 5 different recommended places all recommended the next place. I had two maps, got giv...

Pass me a knife, I hate this bus! The bus stopped between 3 and 5 at some random hut but no one got off, you just have to wait for the border to open. I have never been so hot.

Set off again and got to the Vietnamese border at 6.30. It was freezing!! It was also very very busy! We got off the bus and a guy just point...

Rammed all my belongings in my rucksack making sure a had taken all my valuables out as we are getting on a sleeper bus tonight. Checked out at 12! Our transfer picks us up at 5 so we had 5 hours to kill. There isn't anything to do here so not having a room makes it even worse!...

What's new! Got up to have breakfast at 9! Again we have nothing planned for today, just waiting around to go to Vietnam tomorrow! I really did want to visit Luang Prabang in the north of Laos but we don't have time and Michael wants to just leave Laos! Had lunch at Dao Fa on the main street! An actual restaurant! Which was weird! Went to get money out and accidentally types in 200,000 instead of 2,000,000! Great! You get charged the same for all transactio...
