Our bus pulled into Ho Chi Minch around 7AM and we were both knackered to say the least. Before heading off to find accommodation we sat on a street corner and had a iced coffee. It hit the spot perfectly and helped remove some of the mentally scarring bus ride. We soon found a small hotel run by a very cool guy named "Chan". This lovely man saw how tired we were and immediately fed us fresh baguettes and juice. He then pestered the house keepers consistently to...

Firstly allow me to apologise for the lack of blogs over the last week or so. We've been kept fairly busy in the South of Vietnam and 5 days ago we crossed the border into Cambodia. Nah Trang is a very developed coastal city about 9 hours from Hoh Chi Minh. It's all centred around the beautiful beach which is where 80% of Moscow has decided to take a holiday. As beautiful as it is, it's still hard to feel like you're seeing a piece of Vietnam which is beautiful...

Narrow cobbled streets, tailors at every corner, Vietnamese coffee, beautiful beaches, extraordinary architecture and a personality all in its own class. This is Hoi An! After a short bus ride from Hue we arrived in Hoi An. We where back into the very Hot weather. A short cab ride and our driver released us into the old town. This rectangular area of Hoi An is strictly for motorbikes and bicycles. The streets are literally too narrow for cars and buses. We carri...

The town of Hue is rich with history and ancient architecture. The town is sliced in two by the, very elegantly named, Perfume river. We found a clean hotel, dropped of our bags and headed out for a much needed lunch. After lunch we did a bit of shopping and checked out the general lay of the land. Something we had forgotten to do in Hanoi and Halong bay was washing! My clothes were at the point where I had given them all names because they could walk on their o...

It took us about four hours to travel the 175km down to Halong Bay. We were heading for the "Treasure Junk". All the boats that navigate around Halong are called "Junk's". Upon boarding our boat we both agreed that there was indeed nothing junk about it. 30m of pure luxury compared to what we where used to! Cocktails on arrival, a warm towel and a seven course lunch started us off. The Treasure junk had only been running for about 8months so everything on board...
