Hellooo, Writing this from Hoi An, a medium sized town in the middle of VIetnam next to the coast. We arrived here on Friday morning after a night bus, where we were both surprised that we barely slept at all. :-) Hoi An though is a really beautiful town and walking around at 7am to find accomodation with no other tourists in sight was really nice. Hoi An is a town that has a small old town on the shores of the river that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so lot...

Hi! Had a great few days in Nha Trang which is basically water sports and beach capital of Vietnam! We arrived late afternoon in the rain, and after a bit of a struggle to find a place to stay we got a good deal on the main street, which is very touristy. The 1st full day in Nha Trang we got up fairly early, had breakfast and hit the beach! It was searingly hot, I think the hottest place so far- we hired loungers and then with that we got to use a swimming poo...

Hey guys, just an update of the nest stop on our journey :-) This one on Da Lat, a city in the central mountains of Vietnam.

We arrived, and...

Hi Everyone :) Just finished a great 2 days at the small stretch of beach at Mui Ne. We arrived from Ho Chi Minh City after a 5 hour bus journey, and walked for nearly an hour in blazing hot sun to the eastern (cheaper!) side of the beach. We found a place which is attatched to the beach, complete with little bungalows and a hammock/ sunlounger resting area :) The beach is so empty compared to Sihanoukville!, it was pretty much just us at one point on the beach...

Hi! Had a great few days in Ho Chi Minh City since our last post. The morning of our second day in the city, we went back to the market for another look round, and did some more souvenire shopping. We stayed for lunch at one of the many stalls there which was very nice. In the afternoon, we completed the walking tour that we had started the day before. We did a circular walk of parts of the city, and walked past the main post office, in a grand old French build...
