After the over night bus journey from Cambodia and successfully entering Vietnam we arrived in Saigon. It was clear from our taxi journey to our selected hotel that this was a very different place to our last sleepy destination in Cambodia. Firstly Uncle Ho had himself a big old city, secondly a very busy one. Occasional buses, lorries and taxi's were heavily outnumbered by mopeds, moving round the city in mass swarms. From this point in we both knew it would...

So we prematurely left the beautiful Nah Trang as somehow we worked out that we were short on time. We took another sleeper bus up to Hoi An - the home of cheap and beautiful clothes!! As usual the second you step off the bus (having just woken up) there are taxi and moto drivers a plenty just waiting to take you where ever they get commission. We however were in for a very nice surprise when our hotel was literally over the road. Barely even worth hoisting my b...

An overnight train from Saigon to Nha Trang was the next stage of our trip up Vietnam. We boarded and found our way to our birth.

Although this was a bit annoying it wasn't an issue and we both settled down for the night. We arrived in Nha Trang early the next morning and ...

So it is 8:30pm on Thursday night. We have left the comfort of Mushroom Point, enjoyed a very rickety tuk tuk back into Sihanoukville to get our night bus. We were both pretty excited about this as we get a bug free, air conditioned, nights sleep and wake up in a new country. I don't know how VIP we thought this bus would be (that is how it is sold to you) but we were very much mistaken. I can't help but laugh at Matt when I look over at him all squashed into a s...

The morning had come which meant we could leave the 'lovely' hostel we had been staying in. We took a 5 hour bus journey from Phnom Penh down to the South Cambodian coast and Sihanoukville. A short tuk tuk from the bus station took us to Serendipity Beach and our hostel. Thankfully ALOT nicer than our last!! The next day we explored our new 'home'. We strolled along the strip of shops before deciding to hit the beach to work on some serious tanage. As we both l...
