Hello everyone,
First things first, if you are someone who is emailing me are you getting my replies? I am not sure so can someone write me a message and let me know. If not I have replied, sorry you haven't got them.
To the interesting things, since my last update in singapore airport, which was awesome, we have been in a boat crash, been ripped off money twice, and... not much else. That said Hanoi is amazing, I really like it. The people are so much more relaxed and probably because it is a bit more geared up for tourists than india was.
The other day we went to Ha Long Bay which is loads of islands. I cant really describe it so just look it up on the internet. The caves there were wicked and we met some really sound people on our tour. Unfortunately our driver wasn't so 'cool' and fell asleep at the wheel, and we crashed straight into the side of an island. We tried to say we shouldn't have to pay for your ride but in a true foreign way, they said they did what they promised and got us to our destination without injury. Basically, the only way we were getting compensation is if we were unlucky enough to break something. Then we were in cat ba about 3 hours after we were supposed to arrive, so it was dark and we just jumped in the nearest taxi to a hotel.
This is really quick cos we are running out of time. The next day we got a motorbike ride up to the mountains where the views were amazing. we walked through a bit of the rainforest which was a little eery. Tonight we are heading off to sapa, doing some trekking in the mountains and it is supposed to be really cold up there, glad i bought my masisve beany now. It is quite cold here, not shorts weather at all.
Our tour starts on staurday which will be good financially. Been out a few times drinking and met people every night which is cool. the best thing about viet nam though is that i can eat meat again.AWESOME.
sorry to be so brief but love to you all. ps I cant believe how quick time is going. and also i had a shave yesterday for the first ntime in a month. i had quite a good beard.lol..
