Our first night was spent in a pretty cheap and unexciting guesthouse, which didn't have a lot going for itself-not great for a 4 day relax. So we moved to (Club) Tropicana resort! Excellent find as it had a great location the the beach as well as a pool. We just spend our days relaxing by the pool, reading, and a bit more relaxing to boot. It was a bit of a holiday break from backpacking and it was great! Although not so great on the last day as Louise's foot h...

After the long bus ride down from Hoi An, we arrived into Nha Trang around 7am. We hoped that we would be able to contact a place up the coast called Jungle Beach and book a room and arrange transport, this place was heavily recommended by Cath and Dave back in Laos, and we had to have a look. It's not the easiest place to get contact or get to, it's quite a bit out of the way too, but on arrival, the people in the bus tour office were more than helpfull in sort...

After our usual arrival by bus in a new place, being dropped off out of town and beating off motorbikes and taxis with sticks, we checked into our pick of guesthouses and hit the shops.

On recommendation from the Lonely Planet (they got it right for once!), we had a really good feeling about a palce called Phoc An, where Louise had a red trench coa...

Arrived in Hue after a cramped night on the sleeper bus. I managed to grab the lasdt bed, whilst Chris was forced into the back made for 5 people; Chris was the 6th! Once we got off the bus, we were hounded by people offering us rooms but we already had a place in mind, of course. They were very insistant and about 4 of them followed us for a good couple of roads before giving up. Not the greatest welcome at 7am after a 12hr bus ride! We finally found the hotel w...

Just a brief blog for Nimh Binh. We stayed 24 hrs on the way to Hue, mainly to see Tam Coc. We hired a motorbike to get around the town. We drove out of the town a bit and saw some gorgeous sites. Eventually we arrived at Tam Coc, where you hired a rower and a boat to take you down the river, through 3 caves. We went in the afternoon on recommendation that it would be quieter and the vendors would be less 'enthusiastic'. When we got there, a bus load of tourists...
