We left our lovely hotel at 8.30am for the 4 hour journey back to Hanoi, the capital, and our last stop on our tourL.The bus stopped halfway for a rest break at this large tourist/souvenir centre which sold everything from jewelry to paintings, to massive stone sculptures, all of which were made by disabled people right there.It was class, so many beautiful things, and they shipped world-wide! For like $300, so of course, as usual, we bought nothingL. We arriv...

We apologise in advance for this blog which will not really tell you much about Nha Trang…………reason being we didn't see any of it ourselves! After arriving on the sleeper train from Ho Chi Minh we both felt pretty awful so Jack had said he would take us to the International Clinic to get more antibiotics to help us feel better.We went pretty much straight to the hospital upon arrival hoping to get our drugs and get out of there…………no such luck!...
