So where did I leave you? Oh yeah! We were drunk on the way back from Halong Bay. At the end of the bus journey we arrived back in Hanoi so I thought it deserved a new blog. We had 12 hours left before we headed to the airport and so we grabbed a shower and some food, and carried on with the drinking!! We wanted to thank Seb, our tour guide, and you could probably guess that it would be drink related. We collected up some money, waited for happy hour (so drin...

"You guys are better than Ant and Dec" "He saw me coming. He knew I needed shoes, man." - Dan On Thursday, our three day adventure started. The bus was picking us up at 8am so Dan and I got down to the bar for 7.45 to have our first rum of the day (to the surprise of the Vietnamese barman serving breakfast). We got on the bus for our 4 hour trip to Halong City. This is where we were to pick up the boat for our 3 day/2 night booze cruise around Halong Bay. Th...

We arrived bright and early yesterday, and went to our hostel, Hanoi Backpackers. The taxi drivers meter said 80,000 Dong and this seemed a lot to us. When we arrived, Dan went in to "check it was the right hostel" and they told him the taxi should have cost 20,000-30,000. He came out gave the taxi driver a generous 40,000 and the taxi driver was so over the moon with this that he told us to "f*** off" and tried to run Phil over. Anyway, once we got in the host...

"Those girls don't know how lucky they are. There are fat girls out with awesome personalities" - Dan So we arrived in Hue yesterday about lunch time and as you can probably guess we grabbed a cheeky nap. Not surprising though after only 2 hours sleep before our bus and a bus driver that thought it was funny to turn off the air con every now and again. Whilst Rosella and I slept, Phil and Dan went for a beer. At about 5ish we joined them, just in time for happ...

Dan - "How much for a Cornetto?" Man - "30000 Dong" Dan - "Here's 20000" On Saturday, we arrived in Hoi An and headed straight for a nap. This has become a regular occurrence because of our early arrival times. Why have a bus leave at 5pm and arrive at 6am? It may as well leave at 8pm and arrive at 9am!!! Anyway, after our nap we grabbed some lunch and had a walk around Hoi An. Hoi An is a small, quiet, pretty town that to start with was very pleasant to walk ...
