We have finally arrived to our last port of call in Vietnam, Chau Doc, which is a small border town built on a dam on the Mekong Delta. We spent previous day driving through the Mekong to Can Tho, the capital of the Delta with 2500 people living in a city which is based around it's floating water market...not a favourite for us, didn't have buzz of a city, a bit like Norwich! Hotel had seen better times as well. After boat trip to see floating Market (we couldn'...

While Dan was having his terrifying,jungle adventure i had a day exploring the Mekong Delta with my guide,driver n 2 assistants for the day! I enjoyed chatting to the very friendly locals n had my own private boat for a cruise up the Delta . It was very peaceful n beautiful. We stopped off at a number of local businesses on the waterway. A brick factory (25p per day wages to make bricks all day!), coconut candy factory (£1 to peel 1800 coconuts per day!) n fin...

So here goes. Well if u come to Saigon the war museum really is a must, even for the less interested. It is a huge building which was used by the southern army and has an adjourning building which is a model of the actual prison used for Vietnamise that w...

Hoi An for 3 days n 4 nights was very relaxing n we got a day of beautiful sunshine. Hoi An was the original main port of Vietnam until 1945 until neighbouring De Nang took over n now has a population of 2.5 mill. Hoi An is a very relaxed,peaceful town full of bars n restaurants n of course tailors who will make anything in 24hrs. We ate, drank n relaxed for the duration! Gin tonics were great n at a £1 a go really great!! Now onto SAIGON, 10 million populatio...
