Sorry in advance that it has taken me so long to get on here! I forgot to pack the camera cable so we have bought a little pen drive to put the memory card in and the blog doesn't let you update without a picture!! Well, here goes, whirlwind first 10 days we have had from horrible goodbyes on Tuesday to drinking 9p beers. Tuesday was horrible for us both, I didn't stop crying till I had finished my first beer. We arrived in Frankfurt Airport at 9:30 and it took us an hour to change terminals, the airport was the size of Liverpool it was huge! Checked in for the next flight and found a lovely little bed chair to snooze in for an hour. We found a Burger King an the got on the 11 hour flight to Hanoi! When we got on some god awful man sat next to me the whole way and he stunk, Mike thought it was hilarious. On the upside…..free Champs an Beer!! So we arrived in Hanoi an jumped in a taxi to the hotel. Hanoi is so so busy I couldn't believe it. Scooters are everywhere an they don't care if your on the pavement, you are still in the way! Site seeing was our next day, saw a half pug half Alsatian puppy - probs not but looked like it. We walked about 10 miles round the city. We visited the Cathedral, The Hoan Kiem Temple and a couple of museums. We headed to Ha Long Bay the next day, it was amazing, cannot believe how amazing it was and the fact it was all natural. We went through these Caves which were also unreal. After lunch we went kayaking which was fun, we got a bit competitive an thought it was a race. We stayed on the boat an next day headed back to the main land. Had ants in our lunch this day…..yum! Headed off on the night train to Hue which was 15 hours long. Much easier then the bus though. Hue was really nice, not much to do but it was nice. Took a stroll round town as it was sunny finally! Had a great nights sleep finally as the beds where amazing! Went out at 12ish an took a boat ride to the Tomb and went to see the Pagoda, that's all there was to do really in Hue not much at all! Here we are…..in Hoi An now. Michelle had said I would love it and omg was she right! This place is unreal, so much to do and see and THERE IS A BEACH! Our hotel is beautiful, it has a pool an everything! We got a lovely bus down here from Hue which had beds in it weirdly enough. We have been to the beach and got horribly burnt and had a day of site seeing. We have been to the Japanese bridge, about 4 different temples and found a great place that serves beer at 9p a go! Planning on having a pool day tomorrow…..not sure with all this burn though! Promise to update this more now we actually can! Thanks for all the lovely texts an facebook messages from home! Love Fern and Mike xxxxx
