Hello All So we last left you at flying to Vientaine. Vientiane is nice but a little quiet, its very laid back and is quite small so you can walk everywhere. We decided it was best if we sorted out our Thai visa in Vientiane at the embassy as we are crossing into Thailand overland which means you only get 15 days on your visa and we need 45 :) We went to the Embassy on Friday morning and it was a fairly straight forward process, after being shafted for 100Baht ...

Hello! So.... We flew to Hanoi from Danang, flight took an hour I think & we got a taxi to the hotel. We saw some guy having photos with everyone at the airport so we hopped on the band wagon & it seems he is on TV in HCMC.. so there's a celeb spot for you! Hotel in Hanoi was rubbish! Damp on the ceiling & a brick wall behind our window that wouldn't close... Nice! Breakfast was 4 slices of bread & an egg but unlimited coffee so I was happy wi...

Hello All! So the flight to Danang was 1hr 15 mina, sooooo worth the £40 Paid for it! We got a taxi to our hotel in Hoi An for about 5$ each.

It was really nice & we've got a lot in common. They were also on our bus to Nha Trang & staying in the same guesthouse! So we all went to vin pearl land yesterday- a water park that you get to via cable car over the sea.. it's so weird! We went on lots of slides, some more tha...

Hi everyone So after feeling like HCMC chewed us up & spat us out we decided to move on to Mui Ne beach, up the coast. Bus cost 5$ each and was supposedly a 4 hr trip- was actually 6 1/2 hrs... We are learning to add 2 hrs onto whatever time they tell us! Although 6 1/2 hrs to do 200km is beyond unbelievable!
