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. Hotel is nice, it's quite big & offers a free shuttle bus to the old town where all the markets & tailors are. Once we all checked in Sam & I went to check out the pool & bumped into Tim & Laura from the bus to Mui Ne! They joined the 4 of us a the beach the following day & we all went out for di...

Hey Everyone! So after we blogged last time we ran into jerry & Eva who we met on the bus to HCMC. They asked us to dinner & we went & met a few other Dutch people...

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! Annoyingly we were reading our bootlegged lonely planet of Vietnam ( which we stole from the room made for dwarfs) on the bus trip to Mui Ne & read...

Hello Everyone! So having booked our tickets to Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) for 18$ we were told the 7hr bus ride would get us into HCMC at 5pm... LIES! Bus was 30 mins late picking us up, were then had to cross the Cambodia/Vietnam border which was soooo shifty! we had to hand over 1$ to this guy for no apparant reason after already paying 45$ to get the visa in the first place! When i asked why he needed 1$ he shouted "NOW" at me so i quickly handed over my dolla...
