We woke up to our alarms at 7AM and I think we would be lying if we said we wasn't still a bit drunk. We went down stairs for our free breakfast of 'egg and bread' as they call an egg baguette with no butter or anything so I guess they are right it is just egg and bread! After getting that down us we went next door to the agent we booked the Halong Bay boat trip with. There are all sorts of different types of boat trips to Halong Bay with all different pric...

We all slept most of the way on the plane, Lloyd literally fell asleep before take-off and woke up when we landed, only a two hour flight this time though. The first thing we noticed when getting off the plane in Vietnam was how cold it was, still warmer than England so don't get to excited but compared to Singapore and Hong Kong it was a bit nippy! We had to get an hour long bus to the city centre, this is when we first noticed how mental the roads are, ne...

That's when we knew we had found the proper travellers, after being i...

This didn't really annoy us too much because two of our friends from home, Tanya & Stefy were in Singapore so it meant we could see them. We were going to sleep in the airport that night, but that soon changed…. On arriving in Singapore the heat and humidity h...

As we went to The Peak yesterday… we were going to find a beach no matter what! Luckily the weather was nice and sunny… so we got a tube, then a bus to a beach called Shek-O, which was rated as being one of the best. As soon as we got there we bought a ball and had a kick-a-bout on the sand! The beach was pretty empty - as it is actually winter here, but still hot to us! After working up a sweat we ran straight into the sea and dived into a massive ...
