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. We booked the train to Hue around midday and off we went. It was our first train experience in Vietnam, and I'm so glad we did it as the views along the Jurassic looking coastline were incredible. On arriving in Hue at 16.00, we realised we didn't have an awful lot of time t...

So the night bus experience... well it was quite something! Not anywhere near as bad as the Indian sleeper train but not all together that pleasant. Firstly, someone very close to us kept breaking wind and had clearly eaten something that did not agree with them so that was vile! 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.

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...
