An early start as we headed from Saigon down to the Mekong Delta. Ironically saw our first bit of Vietnamese blue sky as we left! Luckily we did leave, our travel agent looked confused when we told him which trip we had come for, and spent the next half hour on the phone! Slightly worrying, but it was all sorted out in the end. Good start for the worst organised tour ever! After a couple of hours on the bus, we boarded very narrow longtail boats that took us fo...

We left Mui Ne at lunchtime for an afternoon bumping around on the bus to Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City. Unfortunately we arrived at rush hour so it took ages for us to get into the centre of the city, which is huge! And even madder than Hanoi - apparently 70 people a month die in moped accidents here (don't worry we didn't hire one!).

After a scenic train ride from Hue to Da Nang we then had a short drive up the cost to Hoi An, Vietnam's tailor central! Pretty much every shop in Hoi An is either a tailor or a restaurant! Once checked in we headed out into the town itself. A quick bite for lunch to provide sustenance for the shopping spree ahead and it was off to the first tailors! After checking out 3/4 we started to commit. Between us we bought 3 suits, 9 shirts, 1 top, 3 dresses, 1 pair of j...
