Land of the terraced rice fields Sapa! Fresh, green and where christmas for me and Daniel started. We arrived to a misty, foggy day, we could not see where we were. That's because we were nestled inside a cloud! A tad disorientated we found a hotel with a top floor 'view' of white cloud instead of the Sapa Valley. There is one main strip of hill which harbours all the shops and cafe's. Even some restaurants with log fires! On our local town orientation wonder w...

We had heard that Nha Trand ha...

Beach Fun in Vietnam Eager to get out of yet another city, we all headed to Vietnams beach town Mui Ne. Me and Fay haven't been to a beach since southern Thailand a month and a half previous, and we were releaved at the thought of being able to cool ourselves down in the sea when we were hot. As the bus dropped us off in Mui Ne, we noticed that the town only consisted of one main road that runs parallel to the beach. We were suprised at how many big posh resort...
