This is the day we have been looking forward to… 'The Top Gear Experience'. Our next stop was Hoi An, instead of getting the bus we hired the motorbikes again, you drive down about 140km of the same route as Jeremy Clarkson and co on the 'Top Gear Vietnam Special'. It was so cheap, 500000 Dong, which is £14.44, but then we did have to pay for fuel which set us back another 3 quid… killer!! They also deliver our big ruck sacks to the next city on a bus so w...

The bus had 3 rows of bunkbeds on it so you can lie down and it is easier to sleep. They are so cramped though and not very comfy! We were on the bus for 14 hours and it only stopped once, halfway through where we could get some local food which was noodle soup. The rest of the time we tried to sleep but the driver was a bit of a maniac and would brake suddenly all the time which made it hard. We arrived safely and checked into our new hostel, which was...

Anyway we were hungry and they do a BBQ on the roof so we brought a burger, but if you buy a burge...

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.

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...
