Hi everyone, Even though this postcard is of Halong bay i'm back in Hanoi. Halong bay was great, i just wish i could have spent more time there but i have got to think about getting out of this country and into China. The place is so fantastic with all the lime stone cliffs everywhere and the caves, it was just great. By far the highlight of Vietnam for me so far! We spent the night on the boat and in all my wisdom i decided to wake up at 6:30 and go for a sw...

Hello everyone, I've been in Hanoi now for a few days and it's nice but it's not my favorite city by far.

We met in the only bar with anyone in, in Hue, playing pool. We and a few others we met that night deci...

Very scary!! I arrived here at 7 in the morning and booked in to the ho...

Hello everyone, Just to let you all know that i'm now in Nha Trang! It's been so hectic since i arrived in Vietnam, i haven't stopped! The country is so big and there's so much to see that with only 30 days to do it all means your always on the go!! The first couple of days here the weather has been rubbish!! it's been cold and windy. And when i say cold and windy i mean it (i've been wearing my jeans and jumper out!). As you can see by th...
