Well this should be a fairly short blog for 2 reasons, it pretty much rained all the time we were there and because of this we only stayed 2 nights. We got to Samui from Phangan event free, although the boat ride there was a little bumpy, not exactly what Zo needed with how she was feeling. On arriving to our accommodation by taxi I recognised exactly where we were from 3 years ago…we were right in the middle of the bar, nightclub and sleazy area on Chaweng. It...

Well it is probably more than fair to say that this day did not start very well, in fact it was easily the worst part of our trip so far. Early in the morning I heard some shouting coming from just in front of me on the bus. An English lad just in front of me was holding what looked like a Thai bloke by his shirt asking "what the 'f' are you doing", he pushed him away and the bloke ran down stairs. The English lad claimed the Thai bloke had been crawlin...

Well we had to catch an early bus to Ho Chi Minh City from Dalat. We were one of the last ones on the minibus so we had to only 2 seats that were left, Zo sat on a single seat and I sat next to an Australian lad named Geoff, across the aisle from Zo.

He looked like he had literally been beaten to a pulp, with a large black ey...

Well these were a few days we had been really looking forward to since back home. We had read so much about the Easy Riders before we come out on our trip, it was something we said to ourselves we would make sure we did while in Vietnam. The day started fairly well, the guys were on time picking us up from our hotel, reassuring us that it wasn't going to rain today, not where we were going. The first stop was to a nearby fishing village. Here we would be able to ...

Arrived early morning in Nah Trang on the night bus and straight away hoped in to a taxi to take us to the centre where we had already ear marked a hotel. Probably the best accommodation we have had to date. Nah Trang has very much a western holiday destination vibe, a big beach, lots of high rise hotels and many different English/irish bars with happy hours that last from about 4pmm to midnight. First was breakfast and the pub also did the best full English we ...
