Our first full day in Dalat, apparently the Romantic city of Vietnam. We needed to send a parcel of goods home that we had acquired from our market shopping spree in Ho Chi Minh. It cost us a tad more than we were hoping at £60 but I suppose that's what to expect with 5kgs of bags! We decided to spend the day exploring Dalat and booked onto the Canyoning tour the next day with Sinh Tourist at $30 each which was the cheapest we found. The city of Dalat was re...

The bus ride to Mui Ne was 4-5 hours long and very comfortable with Sinh Tourist. On arrival, the bus dropped us off practically outside our hostel, Mui Ne Hills. Matt had done a very good job booking it as it was connected to one of the beautiful luxury hotels, so we were allowed to use all their facilities including two outdoor rooftop swimming pools! Our dorm was ok, it was clean and comfortable so that's all that mattered. Our original plan was to visit the s...

We finally arrived in Ho Chi Minh City! After the three flights, and getting barely any sleep, we were both exhausted! We had applied online for the 1 month visa which cost $24. It had been approved so we just needed to receive our visa at immigration. I was very sceptical about whether this was going to be straight forward or absolute mayhem, but we were delighted when we got to the desk to find that all we had to do was hand in the paperwork we had already fill...

We set off back to Puerto Princesa bright and early. I don't mind long journeys as long as I have enough entertainment which we had obviously ensured before we left. Unfortunately for us, we were asked to go right to the back of the minivan with all the luggage. There were two seats (technically) but because the luggage was leaning on to them, matt and I had to basically share a seat for the 6 hour journey! We tried our best to just get on with it but after 4 ho...

After a much better nights sleep with a lovely fan pointing directing onto us, we had a spot of breakfast along the beach front and contemplated about how we were going to see the Big Lagoon! I loved the breakfast here and one of the main things I had been drinking is calamansi lemon ice tea, it's just incredible! Probably my favourite drink ever, closely followed by a mango lassi! We asked around about hiring a private boat just to take us only to the Big Lagoon...
