The blog says Koh Tao but I am in fact updating the journal from leaving Vietnam.... Going to keep it brief as a lot has happened! We left Na Trang on the Night bus, pretty crazy form of transport beds on a coach, with a driver who beeps his horn the whole night and plays loud music and also thinks the road is a race track....thought we were going to fall off the edge of the road throughout the night, all the way to Ho Chi Min City. We got there early, about 6am ...

We have done alot in the time that I have missed writing on my blog... so will try to keep it brief! We arrived in Chaing Mai on Monday morning and after lazying around we found our bearings and my lost bag from the train and met with the tour guide for our 3 day trek.
