We set off from Hue at 1 30 pm heading toward hoi an. The weather was shocking, sheets of rain and strong winds. We all sat in the bus staring out of the window looking depressed and decided this was a day you wish was sunday, so you could spend it under the duvet on the sofa, watching tv, all snug and warm. We was going past a coastal resort called Danang and everywhere was flooded. Watching the waves crash was mad. They were huge and almost coming up to ...

After a Thirteen hour gruelling bus journey we arrived in a place called hue at 7 am. As usual we walk around getting lost looking for a guesthouse or hotel to stay in which someone had recommended to us. We eventually find one check in and have a well deserved rest. Everyone is shattered from the bus journey. It's now only myself, mark and two girls called steph and laura who we had met in Halong Bay. We decided to do a boat tour on the Song huong river bet...

So we left Hanoi and headed to Halong bay after four nights in Hanoi. The plan was to go there for two nights and then back to Hanoi for another night before heading to Hue. We got picked up at 7 30 am to catch the bus to Halong city. From there we would be on a boat for 3 days visiting all these little islands, deserted beaches, some caves and water activities. The Vietnamese say it's the prettiest place in vietnam but I'll be the judge of that as we still...

We caught our flight to Hanoi at 5 45 pm. Myself, nick and neal were all a bit nervous about what the plane was going to be like as you hear so many story's about these little dodgy propeller planes. Thankfully it turned out to be some little private jet so i was happy but the other two guys were not convinced. Our plane name was fooker 70. How ironic would that of been if it crashed. Anyway we made it safely. The vietnamese are masters of scams and unfortu...

We made it to Vang Vieng safely on the monday. The route we was on is really bad for robbery, But we had a guard with a machine gun from world war 2. Basically the bandits hold up the buses in the mountains but we took a local bus. Who would rob a bus full of locals with no money, just chickens. Typical the first full day of sunshine and we wasted it stuck on a bus. When we arrived we checked in to a really nice guest house at only 200 baht a night between us. ...
