Welcome to Ho Chi Minh, or Saigon, as its previously known and is still referred to by most locals and tourists. I don't really want to blog about this place, I assume most of you know, the first night we arrived, I got mugged. Not really something I want to relive or write about. I'm sure you wanted the deet's but I have wrote police report after insurance report and completed so many dam forms outlining what happened that I just don't want to do it again. It de...

We arrived in Mui Ne, it was roasting hot, extremely humid and we felt rank after the sticky bus. We met up with the girls at their hotel, they had booked us a room so we dumped the bags and had a well needed cold shower! The hotel was right on the beach, had a beach shack feel to it, almost Fiji like. You could hear the waves lapping in from our bedroom. Our room was gorgeous too, four poster bed, tv, white walls, big bathroom. Shame there was an ant infestation...

6am, we arrived in Nha Trang, all feeling groggy. No one managed to sleep much except me; thank you Valium. We trudged down the road in search of the hotel, turns out we can't check in until 2pm, annoying. We left our bags in reception and headed to the beach.

It was lush, big double bed...

We arrived at Hoi An bus station and had a guy standing there holding a sign with Livy's name on it. The hotel we had booked had come to pick us up. Ah heaven, reminded me of how much I took it for granted in Aus. You might be surprised by the fact that I said 'hotel', well its not a real one, were still in dorms but most places in Hoi An name themselves hotels. Although we do get an all you can eat breakfast included plus a pool, so maybe a hotel but just sharin...

Our next Vietnam destination was the city of Hue. To get to Hue, we had to endure a 15 hour 'sleeper bus' from Hanoi. We waited outside the bus for about 20 minutes while one of the bus guys said he couldn't let us on because he didn't have the keys and the driver was fixing the engine. Off course he didn't say this due to the fact he couldn't talk English and we don't talk Vietnamese but this is what we gathered from the hand gestures and that there was a man do...
