Hanoi We manged to get the local bus to Danag airport after meeting a cheecky chap at the bus station who started off trying to charge us 50,000 dong each to Danang. We just laughed and siad we knew the fare should be 10,000 but we will give him 15,000. We were still negotiating as the bus was pulling away until he finally laughed, agreed and let us on. We jumped on just as the bus was pulling out. There were some characters on that bus! The bus literally didn...

Ok, so our first taste of Hoi An didn't put a great light on the place. After our 13 hour bus journey on upright chairs, traditional Vientamese horms tooting at every opportunity and constant karoke videos we were in the best of moods anyway. But when our bus decides to drive through the centre of Hoi An and drop us off at some pushy hotel way out of town, we were more than angry!

Mui Ne to Nha Trang Our last morning at Mui Ne and we were sad to say goodby e to the peace and relaxaton but glad to be moving on.

I have to be nice now as we have been meeting them all the way up the Vietnamese coast and they have this blog address!!! On the jounrey I topped up on ...

Good Morning Vietnam! - Saigon 6.00am start for our bus at 7.00am, which actually turned out to be a 7.30 pick up and didn't leave the city until 8.30! There was an American on the bus who lived in Saigon and was telling the girl next to him where was best to go so I spent most of the journey ear-wigging! At one of the many stops we bought 2 hard boiled eggs from the locals (3000 reil, $0.75) and a baguette (1000 riel, $0.25) and made egg sandwhiches! The food ...
