We were woken at 5am with a bang! The bus driver obviously wanted us off asap which was a little disorienting but all part and parcel of the night bus experience! The drop off wasn't too far from our hostel so we decided to walk. The Ga Hostel seemed nice enough and well off the Main Street which was good. They let us have our beds early but at an early check in price of $2 each. We didn't care at that point, we just needed sleep! After 4 hours of decent sleep,...

So we struggled to make our minds up with what to do today! We would only be able to see two out of three caves in one day, but which three?! There was an adventure cave which sounded awesome but we were tired from travelling so much and it was a tad cold to be getting wet, so we decided to catch a bus to Phong Nha and hire mopeds to see the Paradise cave, which was suppose to be beautiful! We met an Italian guy called Manfredio and a Chinese guy called Lazer who...

It was only a short stay for us in Da Nang. We managed to confused ourselves and thought that the imperial city was here but it's in fact in Hue. With that in mind, we were keen to move on.

The bus was also in dire need of new break pads so every time the driver put on the brakes (pretty much once every 2-5 minutes), the brakes let off an almighty high pitch screech which a...

The owner of our hostel, Tiny Tigers, had arranged breakfast for us eventhough we were leaving so early, before his bread delivery. Breakfast was yet again very good and we headed for the Sinh Tourist office. The 5 hour bus journey was pleasant enough until the bus pulled over in the middle of nowhere. We were all looking around to see what was going on and then suddenly two guys carrying a girl came to the bus door. The poor girl had fallen off her motorbike a...
