We arrived in Saigon and not for the first time were ripped off by a taxi driver who drove in basically a huge circle for 15 minutes and dropped us just around the corner (This only cost us £4 in total but it is the principle!). We had an Indian and checked in to a hotel for the night. The next day we went to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels. These are the underground tunnels used by the Vietnamese soldiers during the war with America. We were shown the tunnel entrance...

We arrived in Hoi An at lunch time and checked in to a lovely hotel and headed straight to the pool area to catch some sun. Went out for a really nice dinner and met up with Barry, Lou, Sean and Mandy after for an hour or so. The next morning we woke up to terrible rain so we chilled in the hotel most of the day and headed in to town for a walk checking out the hundreds of tailor shops (Antonio got some shorts made). We ended up at the same restaurant as the nig...

We went to see the caves which were amazing and then went kayaking in warm water before the sun went down. That night we all played drinking games on the top deck before heading to our cabin. The next morning we were up at 7 for breakfast before being transferred to another boat to take us to Cat Ba. We stopped at the national park and the boys headed up to th...

The next day we headed out to explore the city, went to the revolutionary museum and walked around the lake in the heart of the old town. That night we met up with Louise and Barry and went for a lovely meal, all booking a tour to Halong Bay the next day.

After demanding half our money back we got on the normal bus and although we were annoyed we had a few friends on the bus so knew we would have a laugh. After about 30 minutes on the bus we found out you could not get visas at the border so had to stop the bus and get off. We then ha...
