Today we both woke up early and decided we would just get up and go! It was pretty easy to find the bus stop just outside where we could get on a bus that would take us straight to Vinpearl land. When we arrived we went through the ticket control where we were both given a voucher to use for food and drinks worth 150000 dong, about £5. We thought this was quite a nice surprise until we realised it was actually compensation for the fact that the water park, whi...

Our night bus arrived in Nha Trang two hours ahead of schedule, meaning it was 4.30 in the morning! We headed towards our hotel but the lights were all off so we wandered down towards the beach to wait until a more sociable time! As much as I would have preferred to arrive later in the morning, sat on the beach at that time meant we got to see the most beautiful sunrise.

We drove for an hour through Danang before reaching the foot of the mountain pass. We stopped here for a bit to just look at the incredible view of the mountains through the...

Most of the towns buildings are now shops, particularly tai...

We made it to Hoi An! We started early this morning, with the lady from the rental company arriving at 8am to give us the bike and helmets and talk is through the map. It was probably about half 8 when we set off, with us taking a wrong turn almost straight away and getting lost in Hue! This meant it was about half 9 by the time we had found a petrol station, filled up and headed on the right road! We drove the first 10km to Thuan An Beach. This is the first b...
