So sadly this is the final update . We have had an amazing time exploring Phuket with Morna and Scott. It's so beautiful here and as the high season has ended it is fairly quiet but the weather has been great. Our first day here Morna drove us around the island and took us for some local food, and impressed us by ordering in Thai. Later in the afternoon Scott took us up in the seaplane over Ko Tapu island or as it's better known, James Bond Island. So named as it...

The crowds flock early to avoid the heat so it was pretty busy when we got there.

We got driven by car down to Dalat that afternoon and t...

Helloooooo. We're now in Nha Trang, having sadly left Hoi An this morning. Hoi An was precisely what was needed after Hanoi. A very small riverside village dominated by fantastic restaurants, stylish bars and art galleries. The French influence is still very apparent here, but there was oodles of Asian charm present.
