After many stops and some more dodgy dealings we finally made it to Nha Thrang. That bus driver was an absolute lunatic on the road, even I couldn't or wouldn't drive like that and he was way too fond of his horn. Made our way to the 'luxurious' Ruby hotel which cost a total of €2.50 each- basic but when your just staying one night it doesn't matter and they let us check in straight away. At this stage I think we've seen every Temple/Pagoda and to be honest...

We left Hue at 9am and arrived in Hoi An at 1:30pm on Tuesday. We had our very own boy band serenading us for a few hours of the journey so that was amusing! 3lovely lads from Oxford and their extended travelling family. We arrived to fab weather which was very welcomed after our lovely cold (20 degrees is cold out here) and wet weather. We got to our hotel and then decided to go exploring so we rented bikes for $1. To say I was s***ting myself would be an unde...

We got collect bright and early from the Nam Long hotel and were brought to the Phong Nha Farmstay which was only about 45minutes drive away. We arrived and checked in and were ushered straight onto a bus for our National Park tour. We started off driving through the park and stopping and certain pints of interest and the perfect places for pictures. The road was made during the war because it was their way to travel from Vietnam to Laos and because there was on...

We arrived in Dong Hoi about 4:30am ish. We were just dropped at the side of the road but luckily enough we had an app with some GPS to see if we were near the centre. In comparison to Monaghan we would have been dropped at Next with no lights and no idea really where we were going. The girls weren't too comfortable with walking through a strange town where there where two weird men on bikes so we sat about and waited until it was a little brighter. Who thought...

Up and at it bright and early this morning to get our bus at 7:30 to bring us to Halong Bay. We had a 4hour bus journey and then we got on an old boat which sailed through Halong Bay for 4hours. The views here are absolutely stunning and the Vietnamese food on the boat was fab. In any boat trip the drinking games began which made the trip a little more entertaining. When we arrived at Castaway island there were already a crew of people who had stayed there the ...
