Activity Category: Getting Robbed. So without much dwelling on this little episode, you all by now know what happened to us on the night bus from Saigon to Nha Trang, yes that's right, 3weeks in and we experienced the darker side to travelling and got robbed whilst sleeping. Impossible? Should have been. You'd think that 2 padlocks and a sealed luggage compartment would protect you, but no. We suspect the tour company were in on it and we also suspect that child...

Got up to have our breakfast of bread, butter and jam, and a cup of coffee for Erin and Steph at 7.45. It's quite nice having the breakfast provided for you as a lot of people in the hostel end up coming down at the same time and you can chat about the best things to do. Our bus was quite late picking up people from various places in the area. OUr first stop was the War remnants museum. It was very interesting but for some reason we were only given 30mins to wal...

Being that we were already paying $6, we thought we'd give it a shot. With erin as navigator (ish) we set off with rucksacks...

Hello from your three little Miss Saigons! Arrived safely in Ho Chi Minh City/ Saigon and are currently happy and settled in a hostel at a slightly steeper price of $18 a night (although we did turn down rooms at $20, $26 and $30, go us!) Got the bus from Phnom Penh this morning and waved a sad goodbye to Cambodia, possibly never to return. The journey was spent in relative luxury, the bus was half empty, air conditioned and we were provided with bottle water, ...
