Today we got up and checked out of our hotel at lunch time. We packed and drew out more money to pay for our two day tour in Sapa! All we seem to do us draw out more and more money! Doesn't help that the ATM doesn't let you draw out more than £60 at a time and charges you £5 every time!

We went to meet Lee for a coffee at her work! She's the Manager of Hanoi Social Club, a nice cafe/wine bar in the city! There's a few floors, the ground floor being more restaurant the middle floors being more cafe, and then a roof terrace! Spent a while there and said our goodbyes then went to get a sandwich from Gecko... We also got one to go for tonight's tea, just incase the night bus doesn't have a stop for food again like the last one!

We then got picked up at 5:30 from our hotel so we wasted a few hours sat around in the reception waiting, you never know when the buses will turn up it can be anytime between 5 and 7! I needed to charge my phone for the bus but none of the plugs fit my iPhone so charged it for an hour with the USB plugged into one of the computers which gave me all of 10% charge! Pointless! Looks like I won't be slumping my family now as planned!

Adter getting off the minibus at 5:30 we waited by the side of the road with all out luggahe until 7:30! And then still didnt set off until 8! No maggots in my food today though :) bonus...

The beds in the sleeper buses here are 3 rows of single bunk beds all over lapping each other, this one had 5 beds at the back and no toilet! No drinking water for me! This was another terrible night as my seat was broken, all the seats recline so far back but mine had snapped so didn't stay upright! It went all the way back horizontally so that I was practically laid right ontop of the poor guy behind me! I felt sorry for him as he couldn't move an inch and he also didn't sleep!

As I'm too tall my feet don't fit in the tiny boxes at the end of the bed do I had to bend my knees to raise my legs which then meant all the blood rushed to my head and made me feel soooo sick! I should've asked for money back I was soo another no way anyone could have slept on that I wanted to sleep on the floor instead!

Half way through the night an electrical cable fell onto the bus! Lots of banging on the roof infront of my head, totes scary! The driver then had to open the fire escape in the ceiling and sort it out! Arguing with a van that had also got stuck alongside us in the cable was an enjoyable half hour for me at 1:00am in the morning! When we set off he then left the fire escape open! So not only have a got a headache, feel sick, got a bad back, I'm now freezing cold and I'm wet through for being rained on! I seriously pulled the short straw with this seat! Meanwhile Annie whose laid next to me with a window seat gets a cushty ride!

In the morning about 4:00am I finally got a speckle of sleep and had THE most random dream! Me, Annie and Toni were in the middle of a Vietnamese war, sliding downhill in a three birth camper van! We crashed into a tree and then had to make a run for it with the thousands of civillians running for their lives away from oncoming fireballs shooting from the fogged up sky! Annie died (she wasnt happy about this!) and I carried on running for my life with Toni, through a market towards the boarder, where people where stepping over children and elderly to save themselves!

As we're running in the crowd everyone was frantically running in all directions crying and hurt, apart from one tall guy i noticed in the corner of my eye, who was stood still by a stall, watching me...

My dad! (Who I've not spoken to in 6 years!!) He'd not changed since I last knew him, and we stood there just casually catching up and having a general chit chat in the middle of all these dead and injured bodies laying around the streets! We were in the middle of an uprising, Toni held his hand out for me and was shouting of me to tell me to hurry up and run for my life and I was just standing there shocked my dad was here?

I couldn't bring myself to carry on running and then before I knew it I was awake again! Maybe I got hit by a molten lava fireball? Who knows! The Malaria pills are to blaim for the dillusions though they're so strong, maybe il just risk doing a Cheryl Cole so that I don't have to see him again! :S
