Our bus stopped on the side of a busy street to an island in the road where there was a festival with people and motorbikes whizzing around us as we tried to find our bags in the luggage compartment. Gangnam style along with 20 other tunes were belting out of various clubs and sound systems and there is just people and scooters everywhere!!!!!!! We put our backpacks on and braved the crazy traffic to cross the street. Lucky for us our hotel was just around the co...

So the motorbike tour began! We each had a driver and our backpacks were strapped on the back. Our drivers were brothers in their 30's and 40's both were really friendly and spoke good English. The driving felt really safe too, well as safe as u can feel in the crazy traffic and dodgy roads here!

Nha Trang is a beach side town, I'm sure it would have been really nice in previous years, but now it's full of fat, sunburnt tourists and not really like being in Vietnam. Apparently in the last 12 months they have made 3 daily flights direct from Russia, so...

Hoi An = beautiful. My favourite place in Vietnam so far!!! Once we arrived to our hotel, (huy huong garden hotel- really nice) we had a swim in the pool, had a chat to an Argentinian couple we met at halong bay, then walked into the old town. Hoi An is a beautiful ancient city that still has most of the old buildings and roads, they weren't bombed like many other cities. At night the old town comes alive with hundreds of lanterns lit up everywhere in the street ...
